The current political noise, has nothing to do with the 2027 Presidential Contest. What is happening is pure prospecting and political bargain farming. Every seasoned politician, knows that the 2027 presidential race is already done and dusted: Hii Imeenda!
Five factors lock in a second term for President William Ruto:
1. A One-Man Political Machine:
A proven heavy lifter running against political nonstarters and potential retirees.
2. Unshakable Focus:
Despite all the noises, his 2022 pledges are taking tangible shape nationwide to the admiration of Kenyans.
3. Verifiable Track Record:
He is the only candidate with concrete deliverables.
4. Planless Opposition:
The current opposition is like a village dog chasing cars with no idea how to drive one if it ever caught it.
Incumbency Advantage:
The structural reality of Kenyan electoral arithmetic cannot be argued.
Here is my Political Players Breakdown:
With state power out of reach, opposition figures are simply positioning for maximum transactional payout:
RIGATHI GACHAGUA.
The Tolling Station:
Wamunyoro has no bearing, no agenda, and lacks national appeal. He knows it, his followers know it too, and ironically, he doesn’t try to contest that perception but continues the reinforcement of his self balkanization.
His strategy is twofold: charging "toll fees" for party tickets in Murima, and true to his shares philosophy, inflating his political stock for trading(anafanya forex na Murima) eventually in a Thika Rd sharp boy style, auction his bloc and the grasshoppers.
KALONZO MUSYOKA.
The Exit Negotiator:
Facing natural political attrition at 73, the son of Tseikuru neither has fresh ideas nor a national plan. Listen to his interview on NTV yesterday morning; a demolisher with zero building plans.
He is whipping a dead horse while quietly praying for a negotiated political retirement.
Dr. FRED MATIANG’I.
The Forced Bloom:
Pushed onto a dance floor he never wanted to join. Fatigue is evident, and he will eventually pivot back to international development bodies or negotiate a state appointment.
EDWIN SIFUNA.
The Naive Firebrand:
Caught up in an overnight platform hype; chap neither knows how he got there nor what is happening to him, and every time he gets a microphone or an interview, he proves it.
He is a hypemaster without a plan, far from a Presidential material. Sifuna apewe Mic!
Once the hype fades, and the Paybill dries up, he will fall back to defending his Senate seat or seeking shelter under broad-based government arrangements.
DAVID MARAGA.
The Political Appendage- Man fighting retirement boredom:
Completely out of touch with current political dynamics. Nothing new to offer. Doing politics for cardio fitness. Complete retirement is most prescribed.
Bottom Line: Nobody in opposition is running to win state power in 2027, they are all angling for a route to negotiated political Pawaa, or PayBill.
Note: Picture for attention.
