Last week, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua indirectly acknowledged on X that Kenya Kwanza had lost the social media, opinion polls and conventional media wars to its nemesis Azimio.

His consolation was that Kenya Kwanza is unassailable 'on the ground', hence, that is where it is waiting for Azimio. While we cannot fault his belief, what eluded him is that the contests he referred to originate from the 'ground', but that is a topic for another day.
