The last man theory in repeat elections

Within 60 days, we go to the repeat ballot. This time and for the first time we are having two presidential elections in the same year. Whereas many argue that there will be a lot of voter apathy, I opine differently. I believe Kenyans will vote to the last man for their man. This is because half the nation sees this as an opportunity to right a wrong. What the wrong is depends on which side of the political divide you come from.

To some the wrong is another rigging out of Raila Odinga Baba the 2nd. To others it is yet another unfair attack on his ‘Uthamakiness’ Uhuru. And this will be the fodder upon which the political machinery will run. It will be a bruising battle of us versus them. A blind and mad dash to take or keep our man on the house on the hill. Though in the Kenyan sense there are houses in Nairobi, Nakuru, Mombasa so the houses on the hills is more like it.
