Unholy trinity: How tribalism, lies and bribery are shaping 2027 race

Former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua.

Like a science experiment gone wrong, Riggy G has escaped the political morgue and is now roaming the streets. Some are disturbed and angered by his survival, calling him dangerous. Others marvel at how he managed to survive the lethal injection and are intrigued by his political mutation. To affirm that he is alive and kicking hard, he has forced an early labor-the campaigns for 2027 are on.

Those in power have panicked-this was not how things were meant to go. UDA was supposed to be in total control, but the political heat has melted "The Plan."
Political formations are coming together faster than even the broad base. There is a rush to get ahead. The early bird is expected to catch the worm, yet while the "worm" is up and wriggling, the "birds" meant to catch it are yet to be born.
