Why Mudavadi remains the finest choice For Western Kenya

People from western province seem to have lost their position in the Kenyan politics especially after the exit of former president Daniel arap Moi and the mobilisation of political support based on tribal lines. One of the reasons for this is the inability of the region to rally behind a single candidate and give him/her enough bargaining power in the national politics.

With the introduction of coalition systems, it is no longer possible for a single party like KANU to ascend to power without negotiating with other parties. The same also allowed formation of political parties along tribal lines that ideally replaced the tribal kingship during the Moi era. It is for this reason the Luos through Raila Odinga, Kikuyus through Uhuru Kenyatta and Kalenjins through William Ruto have successfully manged to stamp their authority in the national politics and at the same time get a fare share of the national cake.
