There must be a level ground in Nyanza for anyone seeking an elective seat, irrespective of the party. The democratic space must not be abused by anyone — whether you are TUTAM or WANTAM.
Nyanza is not anyone’s private estate. It is not a hereditary fiefdom. It is not a political trophy to be locked away by one faction after the passing of a towering figure. It belongs to the people who live there, vote there, and will live with the consequences of whoever represents them. When any side — government-aligned or opposition — tries to ring-fence seats, intimidate competitors, disrupt meetings, or declare entire constituencies off-limits, it is not defending a legacy. It is shrinking democracy.
I believe a level playing field is the only honest path forward. Let candidates from ODM, Linda Mwananchi, PPP, independents, or any other formation stand without roadblocks, without hired chaos, and without the quiet threat that “this area is already decided.” Let the people of Siaya, Homa Bay, Kisumu, Migori and the rest of the region weigh the records, the ideas, and the character of those who seek their votes. Development money, harambees, and access to power should never be used as tools to close the door on competition. Equally, the language of resistance should never be twisted into a licence to silence those who choose a different path.
Kenya’s Constitution does not create regional monopolies. Multi-party democracy means nothing if certain zones are treated as no-go areas for one side or the other. The moment we accept that Nyanza “belongs” to TUTAM or “belongs” to WANTAM, we accept that the voter’s choice has already been made for them. That is the opposite of empowerment. Real empowerment is the freedom to choose without fear, without coercion, and without being told that loyalty to a slogan is more important than the quality of leadership on offer.
This region has produced some of Kenya’s sharpest political minds and most resilient citizens. It deserves contests that match that stature — open, competitive, and focused on results rather than tribal or factional ownership. Whether a candidate supports a second term or insists on one, the test should be the same: Can they deliver roads, hospitals, jobs, and accountable representation? Can they stand before the people without hiding behind barriers or hired muscle?
Anything less is an abuse of the democratic space. And once that abuse is normalised in Nyanza, it becomes easier to justify elsewhere. The principle must hold: one country, one standard of political freedom. No side is entitled to a monopoly. No slogan excuses the closing of the arena.
Let the people decide. Fully. Freely. Without anyone claiming the right to decide for them.

Using Davido for rollouts has become culture. So they really can’t drop without going at Davido or calling him out ??? Just trying to understand 😂??? 🤝
This Davido’s post of him reacting to his uncle’s “election win” just hit 2.2 million likes on Instagram🔥🔥.
It’s the highest like ever acquired by an African artiste in history. The position was previously owned by same Davido’s Worldcup performance post back in 2022 ❤️
