Is Railas’ single bullet still intact?

George Santayana, a Spanish philosopher once quipped, “Those who do not remember the past is doomed to repeat them.” If there is anything that haunts Raila Odingas’ yesterday, today and tomorrow, it is the fact that he still does not know how to fix himself and win an election.

Raila is gaining a reputation for throwing tantrums at every step of the electoral process. Like many politicians, he seems to have learnt little or nothing from the study of history – especially the history of why he always loses elections. Railas’ key narrative has always been that of stolen victory.
