Apology received. But for full acceptance, we need one thing: record yourself shouting “WANTAM!” with your full chest. Face visible, no cuts, no filter, no autotune. Post it and tag Nairobi. Then we can accept. Until then, apology iko pending. 🙌😂

[Rob Finnerty @RobFinnertyUSA]

I want to offer an apology to the people of Nairobi, Kenya. The passion you have your city and homeland is amazing… We all make mistakes. I misspoke, and I am sorry to anyone I have offended.🙌

- Sometime in 2022, I noticed something about @EdwinSifuna.

- I mentioned it to one of my siblings.
- I was dismissed.
- I tried again with someone I was dating at the time.
- Nothing. 😂

So I stopped talking about it.
- But I didn't stop watching him.
- For four years, I watched.
- ✓ The interviews.
- ✓ The fights.
- ✓ The pressure.
- ✓ The insults.
- ✓ The moments when responding would have been easy—and the moments when silence required considerably more discipline.

📍I watched him inside ODM.
- I watched his relationship with Raila.
- I watched him defend the party.
- I watched him disagree with it.
- I watched what happened when the ground beneath him eventually shifted.

📍And then, after ODM pushed him out, something extraordinary happened.
- The politician I had been quietly watching for four years suddenly became impossible for the Country not to watch.

In a remarkably short period, Sifuna has moved from being dismissed by many as merely a loud, clever ODM Secretary General to becoming one of the central questions of 2027.
- And I don't think we fully understand why.

- It isn't simply because he speaks well.
- Kenya has eloquent politicians.
- It isn't because he opposes William Ruto.
- We certainly don't have a shortage of those.😂

- And it isn't simply intelligence.

There is something else happening around Sifuna.
- Something money can imitate, but cannot easily manufacture.

𝗣EOPLE LIKE HIM.
- That sounds almost trivial.
- It isn't.

Politics is one of those strange businesses where people spend billions trying to manufacture something that sometimes arrives naturally in another human being.

- You can buy billboards.
- You can print T-shirts.
- You can hire mobilizers.
- You can ferry thousands of people into a field and produce a magnificent aerial photograph.

📍But there is another kind of crowd.
- The person who spends their own money getting there.
- The young Kenyan who makes the TikTok nobody commissioned.
- The woman defending you in a WhatsApp group.
- The stranger arguing your case on Facebook.
- The person who brings three friends.
- The person who registers because you have made politics matter to them.
- The volunteer who eventually wakes up at 04:00 a.m. to protect your vote.

That person hasn't merely attended your campaign.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐭.

📍And when enough people begin doing that, something changes.
- The politician is no longer doing all the persuading.
- People begin persuading each other.
- I think that is beginning to happen around Sifuna.
- But if likability were all I had seen, I would have stopped watching years ago.
- What has kept me interested is what sits underneath it.

𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞.

The recent rumoured fallout with Babu Owino was instructive.
- It contained every ingredient Kenyan politics needs for a spectacular public divorce.
- Two ambitious young politicians.
- Supporters spoiling for a fight.
- Bloggers waiting. Cameras ready.

Sifuna refused to play.
- No angry press conference.
- No public retaliation.
- No scorched earth.
- ✓ His supporters largely answered for him.

Sifuna, meanwhile, extended an olive branch.
- That fascinated me.
- Because it is easy to look Presidential when everybody is applauding you.
- Temperament becomes much more interesting when somebody gives you an opportunity to be petty.

📍Then there is something else I have increasingly come to appreciate.
- Sifuna is comfortable saying:
- 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘.

In Kenyan Presidential politics, that almost sounds revolutionary. 😂

We have built this peculiar idea of the President as national engineer, economist, doctor, contractor, employment officer and development expert rolled into one.
