Odoyo Owidi: Sifuna is a creation of the same people who created the Gen Z movement. When they are dropped, they can do nothing about it. From where I sit, he cannot even organize one political rally by himself. The best person to use is one who is largely broke.

This is how Busia erupted as President William Ruto made an impromptu stop over after church. Western Kenya region will not support the confused opposition.
We all saw this coming. Not even the Covalent bond can hold the Linda Mwananchi group together. Edwin Sifuna is full of himself. He does not listen to anyone else apart from Pauline Njoroge. Mliona kile Babu Owino alifanyiwa juzi Kitale and Bungoma after declaring after Baba ni Babu? Buana let's not pretend that all is well. The split is imminent. The writing is on the wall. Caleb Amisi has already left. Linda Uhuru shall undoubtedly crumble. The storm is gathering. Tighten your belts and get more popcorns. Hapa mbele kuna mambo inakuja. Chesa
Edwin Sifuna is my very own immediate cousin. He is just like my very own elder brother. Don't think you love him more than I embrace him. Huyu ni wetu. But I must always tell him the truth. One day he might ascend to the top office but not in 2027. He must shelve his political ambition until the right time. Hizi Kura za next year he must support Ruto. The gentleman from Sugoi will mentor him as required. Huko 2032 or 2037 we shall support Sifuna for Presidency. Hii ya 2027 we shall support Ruto. Musalia Mudavadi has always been right.. kila kitu na wakati wake.
Push for Mt. Kenya split:
Section of leaders from Mt. Kenya East demand autonomy
CS Ruku insists the East has been sidelined since independence
Ruku: We've been denied development, leadership, and representation

Let's all calm down and stop making wild proclamations like Gachagua, who just said he will mobilize Molima's 7M votes against Ruto in 2027.
7 Million!? From where?
Last time I checked Molima TOTAL votes cast in 2022 (for both Raila and Ruto) was 3.8million... I have included ALL the votes in cosmopolitan counties like Nakuru, Laikipia and Kiambu, to counterbalance the Nairobi votes (which are give or take 500k votes cast - 67% of the approximate 800k Nairobi Molima voters).
Post-2022, IEBC has registered about 527,000 new voters in Molima counties.
So, long arithmetic simplified, there is no universe where Gachagua gives anyone above 4M votes, even assuming they vote 100% for his preferred presidential ticket.
Maths don't lie, Wamunyoros do. #Jakwano
PS: One of the tricks Wamunyoros normally use to shore up their numbers and create an artificial "tuko wengi" perception, is they usually compare their REGISTERED votes total, vs other region's votes CAST.
It is not uncommon to hear them say "Sisi tuko na kura million saba, na nyinyi hamna kura, mlipigia Raila kura blah blah"
That trick won't work anymore... We now compare Registered vs Registered, and Cast vs Cast... WAOL.
I found this analysis interesting;
For 61 years, Kikuyus have had either the President or VP.
14 yrs - Kenyatta, 20 yrs - Kibaki & Uhuru. 27 yrs - Vice Presidents.
Legacy? Majorly developing Mt Kenya. Why now get bitter when Ruto develops all regions in 3 yrs?
Still, President Ruto has greatly touched the Mt Kenya region More than any other region.
Let's be fair and admit this.
My brother Edwin Sifuna lazima ataje jina ya Baba kila Mahali to remain relevant. Kama umetoka ODM, why keep mentioning the names of those who founded and gave their all for the growth and survival of ODM. Sifuna and Babu Owino already betrayed Baba by founding Linda Mwananchi. Aachane na jina yake kabisa.
There will never come a time when ODM and Rigathi Gachagua sit at the same table to deliberate on matters of common interest ~ ODM chairperson Gladys Wanga
