- Residents of Vihiga County in Western Kenya broke to dance and celebrations on Saturday, after Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the fourth President of Kenya by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).


Although many said they did not vote for him, the residents received the news with neutrality with many expressing optimism in his leadership.


“The people of Kenya have spoken and whether they voted for a President who lost, it is our turn now to trust in the leadership of the one who has been elected,” said Samuel Magare, a teacher in Vihiga constituency.


“If he can lead the country well without favouring one region over the other, we accept his leadership fully,” another businessman said.


The residents also expressed confidence that the President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta would fulfill the promises he made during his campaigns.


“We hope for the best to come from him bearing in mind he is still young and energetic to take this great country to another level,”Mama Margret Kadenyeka, a farmer said. ‘


On Friday, Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi conceded defeat having seen that he could not win the election.


Mudavadi who comes from Vihiga County has been praised by locals, terming his move as brave and patriotic.


“Mudavadi has done what many Luhyas have failed to do in the past, which is a show of his strength and humility. He will be ready to rule the country come 2017!” said senator elect George Khaniri who is a close confidante of Musalia Mudavadi.
 

- News just in indicates that Luo Council of Elders and Luo professionals have congratulated President–elect Uhuru Kenyatta for winning the last Monday’s poll.


In a statement read by Party of Action (POA) party leader Minister Raphael Tuju, the elders who had gathered at a Nairobi hotel, said they have confidence that Uhuru Kenyatta will deliver the country from dogmas of corruption and tribalism which have ruined the country for the past 50 years.


Tuju said Kenyans have spoken and any leader (referring to Raila), who is challenging the outcome, must be a leader who is obsessed with leadership which Kenyans have denied him chance.


“Kenyans spoke last Monday in a free and fair poll. In any election there must be a winner and a loser, Kenyans have decided to move forward,” Tuju said.


He also thanked the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for conducting a free and fair election, thanking the officials for the job well done.


Among those who attended the meeting is former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s adviser Miguna Miguna.
 
Is it? Ha ha ha!! UHURUTO in action!! Raila was represented there!! Ha ha ha!! Can't get into my brain!!
 
Kenyans have spoken, International community is silent and we don't need to hear their voices! this is a Kenyan affair! Presidency is not a merry go round, or an endorsement by international community, but elective position decided by majority of REGISTERED Kenyan voters! Don't look for any other formula!
 
Miguna Muguna is a Kenyan like any other Kenyan! RAO has very many ADUIs not only Miguna!
 
If true that is the right direction to go! People should not be held hostage by a few people. During today's press conference, covered only by Citizen TV, Anyang Nyong'o called for a meeting with all the elected leaders to explain why they are going to court. I believe there must be resistance at the grassroots. People want to move on!

Mwache Tuju maisha inamshinda huyu.
[h=5]Former Rarieda MP and foreign affairs minister Raphael Tuju, has filed for separation after his 27 years old marriage took a dramatic turn in 2011.
Tuju, in a sworn affidavit, says that he can no longer live with his wife Ruth Akinyi Wanjare, for openly cheating on him with a young GSU offi[/h][h=5]cer. His other allegations are that Ruth is abusive and violent.
Judicial Separation Cause No 33 of 2013 filed at the High Court Nairobi lists Ruth as the first respondent and Anthony Ogunda, her alleged lover, as the second respondent. [/h][h=5]
Tuju claims he has photographic evidence and telephone messages of the alleged affair, listed as Exhibit RT1. Most of these is believed to have been compiled by a private detective hired by the former foreign affairs minister some months ago.

it's only logical for any Kikuyu to have the better of a Luo rival in contexts like this one.

look at this...

1) a Luo:
brainy and intelligent. can quickly figure out something but miss out on the final act

2) a Kikuyu:
smart and shrewd. they get others to do the thinking for them and...whap! they pounce and get away with it!
 
Raphael Tuju tangu alipomsaliti Raila aliyemuinua kisiasa na kumkumbatia Kibaki na kumsaidia hujuma dhidi ya Raila ndipo alipoteza muelekeo kwani baada ya ngwe ya 2002-2007 kuisha alitupiliwa mbali katika uchaguzi uliofuatia na hadi leo hii amepotea kisiasa.

Ni sawa na huyo Miguna aliyeamua kupigana vita na Raila baada ya kutemeshwa kibarua toka ofisini kwake ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu. Kwahiyo hao si watu wanaoweza kutoa statement ya kuwawakilisha wazee wa kijaluo ama wataalamu wa kijaluo. Hata siku moja wajaluo hawawezi kumkana mtoto wao aliyewaletea heshima na kuwatoa katika unyonge wa kisiasa nchini Kenya.
 

UHURU Kenyatta ran the most expensive campaign in Kenya's history that involved local and international strategists to become President in last week's election.

The son of Kenya's founding president drew his campaign team from not only among his relatives but also current and former advisors of President Kibaki.

Before Uhuru joined up with deputy President elect William Ruto, he put together a team of key advisors who have included businessmen and politicians to draw up strategies for him.

Uhuru's inner-core strategists-men like former presidential aide Alfred Getonga, Uhuru's maternal uncle and former Kenya Airport Authority managing director George Muhoho, lawyer Njee Muturi, former MPs David Murathe and Justin Muturi, State House political advisor Nancy Gitau and Uhuru's nephew, youthful Jomo Gecaga, son of his half-sister Jeni Gecaga.



Others have included his spokesman Munyori Buku, TNA chairman Johnson Sakaja, former journalist and blogger Dennis Itumbi who was the director of Team Uhuru - a network of volunteers - and political strategist Moses Kuria.

There was also Erastus Wamugo, whose main job was to lead a team that was behind policy and analysis. One of the country's youngest diplomat who has been the deputy head of the Somalia Mission, Yvonne Khamati has also been a key advisor of Uhuru especially on foreign policy.


Nancy and Muhoho have not been seen publicly in Uhuru's campaigns but the likes of Getonga, who has been the communications director of the National Campaign and Njee, who has been the campaign manager have been spotted in public quite often.

Nancy and Muhoho have been at the center of resource mobilisation for Uhuru's campaign including managing the accounts.


​

Jomo has been the most visible personal assistant to Uhuru and attended all political rallies and meetings - sitting behind the Jubilee Coalition leader and always rode in the former DPM's car.

Uhuru also had a team of young people behind his campaign and left the work of running his party The National Alliance (TNA) to 27-year old Johnson Sakaja.

There were a number of teams that run his campaign - one being an online team - which had three offices around Nairobi with the main group led by Njee and Getonga operating from Lavington.

​


Uhuru also hired a British PR firm, BTP Advisers, to handle his image internationally especially with matters relating to his pending trial at the ICC.

The team led by Mark Pursey, and Charles Anglin were also part of the team that conceptualised the creation of TNA including its launch in May last year that was done amid pomp and color.

Pursey and his team's media campaign has involved online monitoring, including social media and especially on Twitter as well as getting information on Uhuru's main challenger Prime Minister Raila Odinga who came in second in the contest and has since said he will challenge the results.
​



The Uhuru campaign was initially run from his private office at Chancery House, before it was moved to Lavington. There was also another office know as the UK Centre in Nairobi's CBD. His party TNA set camp at Promiso Building on Jogoo Road.

His aides are also active on the social media, often releasing statements on Twitter and Facebook.

Ruto, who was initially in the race for president before joining up with Uhuru to form the Jubilee Alliance and becoming his running, had already established his campaign secretariat office at Kileleshwa headed by Sande Oyolo apart from another office for his party, the URP.

Ruto had also set up a think-tank comprising of university lecturers and business people managing all aspects of his campaigns, from raising funds to preparing a manifesto.

Other than politicians in the URP, some of Ruto's most visible advisors were lawyers Kipchumba Murkomen and Prof Kithure Kindiki who were elected to the senate. Murkomen and former IIEC commissioner Davis Chirchir joined TNA's legal director Jasper Mbiuki to draw up the agreement that formed the basis of Jubilee Alliance.


Others in Ruto's team have included businessman David Langat, Silas Simaywo who is his personal advisor and the youngest daughter of former MP William ole Ntimama, Leah Nakinae, who has been running the URP public relations machinery.

Former MPs Issac Ruto, Charles Keter, Aden Duale and former House Speaker Francis Kaparo were also members of Ruto's inner circle.
