2017 victory or failure to be determined now

For those who may not be in the know, campaigns for 2017 are already in top gear. From the President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto and the CORD trio of Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula, the 2017 campaigns may look far but the gentlemen aforementioned have enough wisdom to tell that you need to start very early.

For those who have done enough research or are doing it on Kenya’s politics, starting late in campaigns can be a disaster. Last general election after observing the voter listing by IEBC, I could tell that CORD had been caught flat footed and believing the posters showing them to be ahead was a fool’s game. As we speak, the vernacular radio stations in the country have been heavily deployed to mobilize voters as well as calculated political rallies and social meetings that include church gatherings. In a nutshell nothing is being left to chance. Obviously even a casual look at Social Media can tell there is a lot going on.
