Musalia Mudavadi most likely Kenya's next President?

Musalia Mudavadi most likely Kenya's next President?

Mudavadi and his team from western province have panicked and that is why they are whipping up a storm within TNA...He cannot come up against an uhuru who has strength at the ballot box and also massive support from the delegates. It is tough for mudavadi who is exhibiting dictatorial traits by demanding backroom deals. They should settle for an democratic electoral system

The United Democratic Forum (UDF) party leader Musalia Mudavadi has said Uhuru Kenyatta had agreed to withdraw his presidential candidature in his favour.

Mr Mudavadi said he had signed an agreement with The National Alliance (TNA) leader in the presence of their lawyers. Also present was Eldoret North MP William Ruto, the third pillar of the Jubilee Alliance.

He said negotiations to settle on the Alliance's flagbearer were ongoing and he was confident an amicable solution would be found.

"We will make every effort to nurture this young coalition," he said during a news conference in Nairobi Tuesday.

Mr Mudavadi said UDF had acceded to Mr Kenyatta's request to explain to his supporters the nature of the agreement and make it public.

The Sabatia's MP position comes just hours after TNA delegates rejected the agreement between Mr Kenyatta and himself.

Uhuru rescinds decision to back Mudavadi


By Geoffrey Mosoku


The crisis in Jubilee Alliance deepened after Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta said he was coerced to sign agreement to back Musalia Mudavadi as coalition flag bearer.

Uhuru rescinded his support for Mudavadi as Jubilee presidential candidate and said the decision on who will carry the alliance mantle rests with delegates.

He confirmed authoring the document and signed it but claimed that he was coerced by ‘the devil'.

He said on Tuesday that powerful forces convinced him that his presidential bid was bad for the nation as Kenya would face international sanctions if he wins the elections and that Kenyans were not ready for another president from Mt Kenya.

He confirmed that MPs forced him to rescind his decision and said only delegates will sign.

"If Mudavadi is nominated, I will support him and I will not seek any elective post. I will work with him on any capacity," he said.
Earlier, Mudavadi held a press conference and said that Uhuru had signed an agreement to withdraw his candidature and back him as presidential candidate for Jubilee Alliance.

The problem wid kenya is tribalism...daah u better watch out coz all east african states may perish becoz of tribalism and religious conflicts
 
Something very wrong with the way politicians deal with forthcoming elections in Kenya. It looks like groups of different interest pursue the agenda of stabbing each other's backs. Why that? Kwanini Uhuru anakimbizana huku na huku? Kuna tatizo gani?
 
---- is this true...!!?? Uhuru deserves the presidency.... i'm shocked... i will be back...

--- confirming....!!!
 
Big headaches: Tribalism in Kenya, Religious divide in Tz.

Eugene Wamalwa, a presidential aspirant, said that if his fellow Luhya Mudavadi will be elected to contest on Jubilee ticket, he will withdraw his candidature to support his tribesman.

Politicians in Kenya have the audacity to count the number of their tribesmen & women and 'sell' them as 'sure votes'.

Drama as Mudavadi, Uhuru reveal secrets

​


By Roselyne Obala and Geoffrey Mosoku

The Jubilee Alliance's guarded secret finally came out when Mr Musalia Mudavadi said he was lured into joining it by a deal signed with Mr Uhuru Kenyatta purportedly handing him the presidential ticket.

Both Deputy Prime Ministers washed dirty linen in public, conceding they had decided the ticket holder on their own in boardroom style, even as Uhuru curiously claimed he was coerced to do so by ‘powerful forces', which he did not specify.

"He came to me and told me that if we are elected, the West will not give Kenya money; that our tea can't be sold abroad and that Kenyans are not ready for another Kikuyu president as this will cause more bloodshed. Given that I love peace, then I decided to quit and support Musalia," Uhuru told delegates.

"You as party members and MPs have spoken and I have had your voice; I am ready to face off with my colleague at Kasarani and if wananchi say its him I will not contest any seat but rather work with him in any capacity he so wishes," he added, referring to the cancelled delegates conference earlier set for last Monday then Tuesday.

Mudavadi on the other hand told the country: "Uhuru said that after consultations, he had decided to withdraw his candidature and wished to support me as the coalition candidate for the president."

Top leadership

Mudavadi said with the present uncertainty over the coalition, he felt compelled to tell Kenyans the truth concerning the deal that led to the signing of the pact between TNA, URP and UDF. "The public has been subjected to a cocktail of speculations, rumours and half truths about the circumstances under which UDF party entered a coalition with URP and TNA," he said.

So at the end of the day the fate of Mudavadi in the alliance appeared in doubt as he insisted he would remain but also held onto his previous arguments that the stalemate would be resolved by way of consensus among Jubilee's top leadership.

His precarious position appeared to be compounded by the fact that Uhuru and his The National Alliance MPs and party officials, were still adamant that the winner of the ticket would be decided through a delegates system, not individual trade-offs.

With Mudavadi not willing to take part in nominations by delegates, while Uhuru, who was the guaranteed the ticket under contention in his first deal with Eldoret North MP William Ruto, vowing he would not take part on consensus, there might be little option left for Mudavadi other than to play along or jump ship.

This was evident because of the strong position Uhuru's allies took, to the extent of even dismissing Mudavadi as one out to be given the ticket on a silver platter.

It did not help matters that Mudavadi and his United Democratic Forum insisted the agreement signed at Uhuru's home in the presence of a team of lawyers was binding even after TNA parliamentary group rescinded it on the basis that they were not consulted and was undemocratic in nature. It was another day full of drama as Mudavadi convened a press conference aired live on television, and attended by high-ranking UDF politicians and partners Kanu with whom he signed a separate deal before moving over to Jubilee.

Candidature signed

Mudavadi detailed how Uhuru went to his house on December 4 and pleaded with him to join the Jubilee Alliance in the presence of other Jubilee leaders Mr Chirau Ali Mwakwere (Matuga), Najib Balala (Mvita) and Ruto. Mudavadi said they first signed a draft agreement at the meeting in his house before moving to Uhuru's residence for another meeting.

According to him, it was during the second gathering that a legally binding document again endorsing his candidature was signed.The signatories were Uhuru and Mudavadi with two lawyers representing them and Ruto also appending his signature as witness.

During a meeting with TNA delegates at Multi-Media University, Nairobi, Uhuru agreed he had indeed signed the document endorsing Mudavadi as the presidential candidate for the Jubilee Alliance.

But he lamented some powerful forces he did not name had coerced him into entering the deal against his conscience. The Gatundu South MP claimed that he was warned his presidency would face many challenges, among them economic sanctions against the country.

Other threats allegedly mentioned, forcing him to step aside, included an aid freeze by Kenya's international partners and talk that Kenyans were not ready to vote for another Kikuyu president.

Uhuru told the delegates that he met TNA MPs at Panafric Hotel on Monday night and briefed them on his decision to leave the ticket to Mudavadi.

"The MPs rejected the deal and said only delegates will decide who becomes the flag bearer and that is now what is going to happen," said Uhuru.

Mkuu,
Mara nyingi tamaa ilimponza fisi. Ni kweli kuwa mwenye tamaa huwa haoni mbele. Kama Mudavadi angelijua hili asingeondoka ODM kwa kule alionekana kama mwanasiasa wa Kenya. Na sasa amevutwa na tamaa na amejichafulia hesima yake na kuonekana mtu mwenye tamaa ya fisi. Waluya wote wanamuona kituko.

Khabari zilizonifikia saa hii zinaonyesha ya kuwa Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta ameamua kwa hiari yake kumwachia Mudavadi kuwa Raisi wa Kenya wa nne kutokana na nguvu ya muungano wao kuonyesha watashinda katika raundi ya kwanza bila ya kujali kati yao nani atakuwa mgombea tajwa.

Vilevile uhuru amepata mashinikizo kutoka kwa wafanyabiashara wakubwa nchini Kenya kumwachia Mudavadi kwa sababu ya "stability" ya kenya................kwa maana ya kuwa kama Uhuru na Rutto wote wakitiwa hatiani na hague au hata kuhudhuria kesi hiyo inaamaana nchi itakuwa mikononi mwa nani?

Jingine ni kuwa Uhuru atapenda akumbukwe kuwa alijitoa mhanga kuruhusu kenya kwa mara ya kwanza kuwa na Raisi na Makamu wake kutoka makabila mengine isipokuwa wakikuyu..........................if this is true.........what an enduring legacy to bequeth a nation known as an amalgamation of African primitive tribes..........


It seems Muigai is the most powerful kingmaker in this Kenyan election....................

Waliotarajia ya kuwa Tinga atakuwa Raisi ni vyema wakaanza kuandika maumivu makali maana makabila yanayomkubali Raila hayana wapigakura wa kushindana na wimbi la Tsunami la Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta................................tuwape pole................kwa maumivu

Leaders prop Mudavadi as compromise candidate

Niulize pia kwa nini masaibu ya uhuru na tuhuma za ukabila yanakua vigezo katika majadiliano hapa? Namuona mfianchi vile debate zake zinaegemea. Hawezi waondoa akina musalia makosa, bila kukemea uhuru na swali la ukabila. Yaonekana watanzania wamechoshwa ubongo na siasa zao za chama kimoja. Wanapendezwa na sarakasi ndani ya siasa za Kenya. Karibuni. Lakini napenda siasa za kenya kwa kuwa, the will of the people will always prevail. Huyu mudavadi anataka vya ubwete, ambayo ni hatari. Hafadhali asikie na kutii sauti ya wengi la sivyo atajuta.
 
TNA walking a political tight rope. Peoples perspective reporter reports ,out and over.
 
Siasa za Kenya kiboko. In short nimesoma commenta za wadau kwenye hii thread, nina machache ya kujifunza, ila ya muhimu sana kuzingatia.
  • Adui na adui wanaweza kuunganisha nguvu ili kumdhibiti adui yao wa pamoja (common enemy)
  • Hakuna adui wa kudumu wala rafiki wa kudumu katika siasa
  • Lolote laweza kutokea muda wowote, pale unapoona maslahi yako yapo katika hatihati kisiasa.
Asanteni kwa mjadala, endeleeni kutujuza
 
Uhuru, Mudavadi deal..............................

Please read more here Ruto: Uhuru, Mudavadi poll deal could not 'happen' - Politics - nation.co.ke


Eldoret North MP William Ruto has said the initial agreement to hand Musalia Mudavadi the Jubilee Alliance presidential ticket was untenable.



Mr Ruto said the secret pact that would have seen Uhuru Kenyatta cede his presidential bid in favour of Mr Mudavadi did not work because there was a "constituency which did not make things happen".

"There was a challenge following the agreement," said Mr Ruto on Wednesday during Citizen TV's morning show Cheche.




The United Republican Party (URP) leader said Mr Kenyatta had good intentions when he co-opted Mr Mudavadi into the Jubilee Alliance and wanted things to work deep down in his heart.


“He (Mr Kenyatta) had good intentions but it looks like those other people did not,” said Mr Ruto without elaborating.

Following the impasse, Mr Ruto said Mr Kenyatta and himself had to ponder available options of consensus and nomination through a national delegate systems.



He said Mr Kenyatta and Mr Mudavadi will now have to slug it out through a nomination process with the winner flying the Alliance's flag.

On Tuesday, Mr Mudavadi said Mr Kenyatta had agreed to step down for him.

However, Mr Kenyatta, while conceding that there was such an agreement, said The National Alliance (TNA) delegates had rejected it outright.



Mr Kenyatta claimed that he was forced to sign the agreement with Mr Mudavadi after being blackmailed by “dark forces” whose identities he did not reveal.

“Yes, I signed the agreement after being compelled to do so by dark forces who claimed that a Kikuyu can’t be elected and that foreigners will suspend aid to Kenya,” he said.

On Wednesday, Mr Ruto said Mr Kenyatta was a human being and could have been persuaded to sign the deal.

The Eldoret North MP defended the decision to vie for elective posts despite facing crimes against humanity charges at International Criminal Court (ICC).



He said Mr Kenyatta and himself could not subordinate their constitutional rights for mere allegations and falsehoods.

“If we had participated in a coup to make ourselves get into government it would be untenable.

"But if we participated in a democratic process and we are elected, who are you to tell millions of Kenyans that you cannot elect Uhuru Kenyatta and Willliam Ruto?" he posed.
