Happy Eve's Day!!

In the recent past Wiper party leader has been heard saying that he is the best candidate to beat President Uhuru Kenyatta in the forthcoming General Election.

According to him, he should be given the ticket because he made an agreement with the ODM leader Raila Odinga which was to see him supported by Raila in this year’s election.

One thing Kalonzo has forgotten is that as per now the agreement is invalid because we have new comers on board.

They cant be overlooked because they also have a say in the new alliance's decisions.

All in all, if Kalonzo decides to quit as it is being speculated then this is what is likely to happen to him.

First of all, he will the voters will lose trust in him.They will look at him as a person who cannot be relied on.As a leader, the subjects need to trust and believe in you.

Second, by Kalonzo quitting NASA he stands no chance of being elected as the President of this republic, this is because he will be battling it out alone.

As it is now no politician can stand on his on and win an election in Kenya he needs the support of other politicians.

If he opts to join Jubilee he will not be given a chance to contest for the top seat because Jubilee Party has already decided it is Uhuru Kenyatta to vie for the top seat.

Furthermore, if Kalonzo quits no politicians will ever want to lias with him in future because they will all have a belief that he will not stick by them up to the end.Others will take it that he is a selfish person who cannot sacrifice on behalf of others.

On the other hand, if he quits and join Jubilee then it means that he will probability be given a ‘good’ leadership position because he will have made the party unbeatable.

It will mean the end of the road to NASA. All in all, as it is now Kalonzo need to be careful with any move he makes because it will either make or break him.
