The Government is out here calling Kikuyus tribalists and pushing for a split between Mt. Kenya East and West yet the same Govt is sending allies to apologise to the same people they are speaking I'll against. 😂😂
Yes, the people of OlKalou blocked UDA goons from interfering with their election.
But we should be asking IEBC to explain where UDA got the ballot papers for OlKalou by election so that they could mark them.
And why is IEBC not calling out the violence unleashed by Ruto's government in OlKalou during the by election?
🚨BREAKING: IEBC has entered into official gaslighting mode.
According to IEBC Commissioner Ann Nderitu, distributing government mattresses, gas cylinders, and "goodies" in Ol Kalou days before a by-election isn't automatically "bribery."
This is the peak of intellectual dishonesty.
Are we to believe that after 4 years of policy amnesia, the state suddenly had a nocturnal epiphany to combat Nyandarua's cold exactly 72 hours before a vote?
This isn’t philanthropy; it’s a transaction. It is state-sanctioned voter manipulation masquerading as "development."
George Orwell warned us about this in Animal Farm: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
The IEBC has officially entered the business of rewriting the rules of the game mid-play to cover up for the rule-breakers.
To say this isn't bribery is like a police officer catching a thief with their hand in your pocket and telling you, "Relax, he’s just keeping your wallet warm."
If the referee is already gaslighting the voters before the first whistle, how can we trust them to count the score?
IEBC, stop insulting our intelligence. If you cannot defend electoral integrity, stop pretending to be impartial.
Politics is not about pride—it is about strategy.
H.E. Rigathi Gachagua, EGH , understood the importance of timing when he advised against going to Ol Kalou. Nyahururu and olkalou is very close like for me i had scheduled to sleep in panari hotel with other leaders of DCP in nyahuhuru, so trying to place their meeting in nyahuru on highway to olkalou was very dangerous ,the enemy could take advantage and do something silly
The question every Kenyan should ask is simple: Do we want a stronger, united opposition, or do we want competing opposition camps?
From my perspective, the United Opposition appears focused on building a broad coalition capable of challenging the Kenya Kwanza administration. In contrast, Linda Mwananchi risks weakening that effort if parallel actions create division instead of unity.
Political change requires discipline, coordination, and sacrifice. It is achieved by putting the national interest ahead of personal or organizational pride.
If the goal is to offer Kenyans a credible alternative, then unity should come before individual brands. A divided opposition only makes the ruling side stronger.
History has shown that elections are won by united movements, not by fragmented voices. The real question is not who gets the credit—it is whether the opposition can come together for the sake of Kenya.
Unity is strength. Division is victory for your opponent. Time will tell.
This habit of calling people Honourable should stop. We should be called representatives, and leave the title Honourable to the Americans - Okiya Omtatah
Kenyans should be very careful with this impeachment noise around Ruto.
A weak impeachment attempt does not always weaken a president. Sometimes it strengthens him. Bill Clinton survived impeachment and came out looking like a victim of political overreach. Donald Trump turned impeachment into a persecution campaign and used it to harden his base. Hugo Chávez used a failed removal attempt to purge enemies and rally loyalists. Even Uhuru and Ruto turned the ICC cases into political fuel in 2013.
So before Kenyans start shouting “impeach Ruto,” ask yourself….impeach him with which Parliament? The same MPs who clap for him, beg him, defect to him, disappear when needed, and vote exactly as instructed?
If Ruto already controls Parliament, then impeachment talk can easily become a trap.
It can help him test loyalty, expose weak MPs, rally his side, create a victimhood narrative, and make the opposition look unserious when the motion collapses.
Not every loud political move is resistance. Some of these things are traps acting as courage. Kenyans must stop waiting for captured MPs to rescue them from the same system those MPs are feeding from.
Be careful what you wish for.
In moments of political urgency, it is easy to retreat into the language of regions, blocs, and “strongholds.” But we must resist the temptation to redraw invisible lines that divide rather than unite. Many of our people no longer reside within the “mountain” or any single region, they live, work, and build their futures across diaspora counties, side by side with neighbors, friends, classmates, and business partners from every corner of this country.
To speak loosely of “locking down regions” is to ignore this reality and to risk placing our people at odds with the very communities they are part of. It is a dangerous path! We’ve outgrown the politics of exclusion.
