Musalia Mudavadi's Amani (Mulembe) coalition has in the meantime taken western by storm. Their rallies at the Posta Grounds in Bungoma and at the famous Muliro gardens in Kakamega have been very successful and attracted huge and very enthusiastic crowds. There seems to be a silent declaration that this time, the western electorate will speak in one voice and vote together for their own, especially after being left out in the crafting of the major coalitions. The coming together of the Bukusus through Wamalwa's New Ford-K and the Maragoli through Mudavadi's UDF, two largest sub-tribes of the luhya is billed to be the game changer for amani and its candidate Musalia Mudavadi. It has also meant that he is now very comfortable in three huge counties of Vihiga, Kakamega and Bungoma. Mudavadi will now need to ostracize Odinga from Busia county in order to sit pretty and fully benefit from the solid 1.4M votes in this region. standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000074915&story_title=Amani:-Opponents-have-lost,-want-to-derail-our-bid Mudavadi at Muliro Gardens, Kakamega Mudavadi at Posta Grounds, Bungoma |

Merkeju, I do agree with you, and this is not just for Musalia, that with very few votes, it is hard for anyone to win the presidency. However, in Musalia's case, you seem to be fall for the propaganda thus missing the details of what he is doing and where he is headed. What Mudavadi is doing now, is what he ought to have done even before he left ODM. You cannot have negligible support in your home area and expect other areas to support you. Politics is about premium, if you do not have a big premium, no one will think about you. Although a tidbit late, Musalia is now on the right track and the pieces are falling in place for him very well and faster than we can imagine. The very high levels of enthusiasm, excitement and energy I have witnessed in his two rallies so far, must be very encouraging to him. The 1.4M votes that you refer to as few, will be very critical to him as they determine how he fairs in the rest of the country in his campaigns. Even if he fails to secure the presidency, they are very important to his future as a politician worth his stature. He must therefore work hard, very hard for it. |

Merkeju, They say learn from history. In this case scenario Kalonzo of 2007 they said Kalonzo was being used and it was a game and the votes he would get would only be from his community and he will be far from winning. Well he became the vice president of Kenya and his party Mps went on and became Ministers and Assistant Ministers in plum government ministries not mentioning Ambassadorial posts and others to add onto that they also performed in their respective positions unlike ODM . So make the mistake of ignoring Musalias bid at your own peril even Nyachae after 2002 elections after only garnering only 300,000 or so votes was able to secure some positions in the then Narc government. |

I hold the view that Mudavadi needs to increase the duration of his western tour from 5 days to 20 days. It is vital that he secures as many seats under his Amani coalition even if this will give him enough votes that ensure he will not be president. Securing western means that in the event of a run off, he is in a position to negotiate himself a deal that keeps the Luhyia nation in government and in the core of power. Please ask him not to waste his time venturing out of Western or those parts of Rift Valley that we have elements of support via Biwott and Moi.

The plot is becoming clearer by the day. Musalia is being encouraged to concentrate in Western but not venture into the Rift Valley. That way, the thinking is that he will eat into Cord's support base in Western while not interfering with Jubilee's in the Rift Valley. The analogy that Musalia should consolidate his support base so that Luhyia bargain themselves into the next Govt does not hold water. They are already well represented in ODM and Ford Kenya. Unfortunately for the schemers, not all voters are gullible. This analysis in the Standard sheds more light on the scheming going on: - www.standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000074914&story_title=Kenya-Is-Eugene-facing-his-hour-of-reckoning?Is Eugene facing his hour of reckoning?By Oscar Obonyo As the battle for the western Kenya voting bloc intensifies, Justice and Constitutional Affairs minister Eugene Wamalwa stands out as the one man who may ultimately influence the course of politics in the region. Underestimated by many, the first-term MP has confounded friends and foes alike by jumping into political bed with virtually every player. And he has changed tack rapidly and repeatedly. “He can only be equated to a rolling stone that gathers no moss. He has tried an alliance with everyone including with members of the outlawed mungiki, Jimmy Kibaki of the Simama Kenya and now (Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru) Kenyatta – all with little success,” reacted Ikolomani MP Bonny Khalwale last year. By the time this writer interviewed Khalwale, the Saboti MP was yet to enter into political marriages with Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo, Planning Assistant minister Peter Kenneth and former ministers Raphael Tuju and Nicholas Biwott. Wamalwa has since divorced all these suitors. Probably his last stop before the March General Election is at Khalwale’s own doorstep – United Democratic Forum, where Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi is presidential flag bearer. And he did it dramatically during UDF’s national delegates’ conference last Friday by dropping his own presidential bid in favour of Mudavadi. Missed ticketThis is curious considering that Wamalwa initially indicated he would drop his own bid only if Mudavadi clinched the Jubilee Alliance presidential nomination ticket, where he was to fight it out with Uhuru. He did not get the ticket, but Wamalwa went ahead and declared his support for Mudavadi. The move begs a host of questions. Did the minister act solely in the interest of the Luhya community? Has he put his political career on the line for nothing? Or could Wamalwa be angling for the position of Speaker of the National Assembly? If the latter is true, and given that Amani Alliance has arguably slimmer chance of winning the March contest, then which alliance has promised to deliver this slot to him? Alternatively, is Wamalwa on a mission to divide the Luhya vote in favour of Uhuru’s Jubilee, as alleged by some? The Standard On Sunday sought answers to some of these questions from the minister himself, who promised to get back to this writer. But by the time of filing this story, efforts to reach Wamalwa had born no fruits. But responding to our queries, one of the minister’s closest allies Dr Juma Mukhwana denied claims that Wamalwa was a project of Uhuru tasked to clip Jubilee’s main rival Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s hold on Luhya support. However, Mukhwana is unable to explain why Wamalwa may not be contesting any other elective post in the March polls. He nonetheless lays credence to suspicion that the minister is waiting in the wings to benefit from a negotiated position. “I think he might win a nomination slot to Parliament or the Senate. Alternatively in the event of a runoff, we shall negotiate for the Speaker’s position for him with whichever party we shall opt to support in round two,” says Mukhwana, also national organising secretary of New Ford Kenya. Cordial linksBut Jirongo, who has joined the PM-led Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord), claims the New Ford Kenya leader is already decided on which side to support. Wamalwa enjoys cordial relations with The National Alliance leader Uhuru, who believably influenced his appointment to Cabinet last year. Jirongo, one of his later-day allies, recalls the last time he was in the company of Wamalwa was when they joined the DPM at a popular club in Nairobi, along Lenana Road, late last month. Jirongo and Wamalwa had just returned from western Kenya where they addressed a series of joint rallies. The pair found Uhuru sharing a drink with Lands Minister James Orengo, who left minutes later. Wamalwa and Jirongo then moved to Uhuru’s table where the three engaged in political chitchat until 1.30am, when Jirongo headed home. “Thereafter I never succeeded to reach him and we have not up to this day. Our Pambazuka Alliance also died thereafter and the following day what I saw on TV shocked me. My friend was at Norfolk Hotel declaring himself our presidential candidate,” says Jirongo. Dalliance with UhuruAfter his Pambazuka “take over”, Wamalwa then moved towards Mudavadi’s corner. His dalliance with Uhuru and Mudavadi is curious. So far, Wamalwa has eloquently endorsed the candidature of these two politicians – Uhuru, during the colourful launch of TNA at KICC last May and Mudavadi, at Bomas of Kenya last Friday. But Mukhwana attributes Wamalwa’s apparent flip-flopping to the delicate nature of alliance building: “There is too much dishonesty, arrogance among politicians and double standards in deal-making. We just had to keep moving from one union to another until we settled on the right one.” The NFK official singles out the G7 grouping, where the minister was a stakeholder for nearly four years. But at the crucial hour, the main players – Uhuru and Eldoret North MP William Ruto – plainly told Wamalwa that shareholding was on the basis of 50-50 per cent between the pair. “Owing to this mistreatment, we opted out of G7. It cannot, therefore, be accurate that the minister’s current activities are meant to benefit TNA or Jubilee,” reacts Mukhwana. But a Cabinet colleague of Wamalwa maintains there is a thick plot in the making. The Cord-allied minister, who is among those tasked to woo Wamalwa and Mudavadi to support Raila, claims the scheme is to enable Wamalwa to grab enough electoral seats in the region. “Even if our people remain unfriendly and Amani finds it hard to support Uhuru in a runoff, Wamalwa’s NFK and Mudavadi’s UDF would have clinched seats to hand over to Jubilee. This will be through a post-election pact, meaning that even if Raila wins the presidency, he will be denied numbers in Parliament and Senate,” claims the minister. “I have heard about that before, but I do not think it holds any water. I sit in the Amani co-ordination team and I can assure you, we are not in it as flower girls or puppets of Uhuru. If we do not win this election, we and not Wamalwa, shall make a collective decision on which coalition to negotiate with,” reacts Col (rtd) Benjamin Muema, NFK Secretary General. Opened doorsBut the Cord-allied minister insists Amani has already decided to support Uhuru: “If it is about a choice between Cord and Jubilee, then why isn’t Amani joining us because we have opened the door for them already. But they have declined.” Conceding that Uhuru was a political confidante of Wamalwa, Muema says his party leader severed links with the Gatundu South MP owing to pressure from his supporters. They reportedly warned they were “not ready to climb the mountain”. “While he may appear weak and even indecisive, Eugene is a highly principled politician. You can argue with him the whole night but it is not possible to compel him to accept what he does not believe in,” says Muema. |

Mangai
You completely miss the point! No one suggesting that ODM has a sizable Luhyia following. My point was with regard to the political relevance of Mudavadi come March 4 and hence my advice on what he should do. Unfortunately in doing this he willb e hurting ODM which should not concern him however much those in jubilee think it is a good idea or you guys dislike him for it.
It is nothing more than political advise!

Kamale , You are right and on point -just an addition -Mudavadis political relevance beyond March 4 elections and precisely 2018 elections is pegged on your advice by Western voting for him as block . We saw that with Kalonzo n Lower Eastern political base in 2007 GE and Ruto with Rift Valley during 2010 referendum. |

clap!!clap!! way to go.. supporting both JUBILEE & AMANI.. wishful thinking and hoping for round two polling so that Amani can put it's weight behind Uhuru/Jubilee presidential candidacy! wast of time i might add..
But hey this thread is indeed entertaining.. desperate measures required by Uhuru/Jubilee and (read: Statehouse) the Devils uhuru mentioned, to make Mudavadi Relevant, but it ain't happening in western province even with all the money being poured there, Luhyha's have resoundingly said no to Mudavadi's/Amani/Jubilee 
hey! wait.. but they are happy to take all their campaign money ;D ;D

I hate it when people say some of what I say about Raila and Cord sweeping the country is a "pipe dream" because its not but I can tell you that miracle happening for Mudavadi to become president is a pipe dream because it is. The best he hopes to do to satisfy his masters, is to spoil for Raila and Cord in Western but even there, too, he shall fail because dead or comatose politicians are never known to succeed in anything they touch or hope to accomplish politically. |

Not quite. If you check the record here on Jukwaa you will easily find out that I promised to give Mudavadi moral support if he runs not because I am dying for his presidency, but because he would have done the right thing. I just do not think it is morally and practically right for a man of Mudavadi's stature, competence and ability and with the kind of support he has to keep on sitting under such an incompetent leader as Raila Odinga. The Luhyas have already wasted five years in ODM that brought them totally nothing, zero. So if they have to waste their vote again, why not on Musalia Mudavadi, their own? |

Their main linkman, Wetangula is a nobody outside Sirisia, has the charisma of a cardboard as the 'late' Adongo would say, lacks a constituency and does not connect with the electorate at all. Namwamba on the other hand, is adjudged by many as a hot head and juvenile at best, thus not yet ready for any leadership. I have no idea why CORD did not see the wisdom of convincing their other stooge Marende to run for office. He would have been more helpful to them in this campaigns than sitting at home waiting to be given another term as a speaker, which is not even guaranteed with Wamalwa in the mix. I will in the meantime be waiting to see how Busia goes today. This is one county he is struggling in badly. |

The Urban luhyia are convinced that supporting Raila is their ticket to canaan - a fact I seriuosly doubt - for anyone trusting Raila today must have been living in Timbuktu or Mars based on how he has shown his hand of dishonesty to all his partners at the beginning of 2008! |

Luhya's have made it very clear " Raila Tosha" and will not vote for a statehouse remotely controlled Protégé namely Mudavadi, only fools are those who can't clear their heads to the fact that Mudavadi = statehouse remotely controlled ( Uhuru let the cat out of the bag " the devils in statehouse made me do it"
I guess as some Luhya's have told Mudavadi.. it is better he goes seeks his votes in Nyeri, instead of wasting time seeking them in Western Province..
ferrying lorries of people to fill up his campaign grounds won't work... western province iko na wenyewe and they have told Mudavadi "NO" let him go back to his keepers .. Mudavadi= statehouse controllers = Jubilee back up since there wishful thinking is for a second ballot...
"CORD" is going to win round one resoundingly ... no second ballot,, so it is a waste of money and time.. for all those Mudavadi sponsors/Read: his Statehouse controllers ;D ;D;D ;D
And the fourth President of Kenya is going to be..... "Raila Odinga" |

Absolutely, so far they are doing extremely well. Their rallies in Bungoma, Kakamega and Kitale have been very successful. He has the right men and women of this region in his corner, which has exposed CORD very badly. Their main linkman, Wetangula is a nobody outside Sirisia, has the charisma of a cardboard as the 'late' Adongo would say, lacks a constituency and does not connect with the electorate at all. Namwamba on the other hand, is adjudged by many as a hot head and juvenile at best, thus not yet ready for any leadership. I have no idea why CORD did not see the wisdom of convincing their other stooge Marende to run for office. He would have been more helpful to them in this campaigns than sitting at home waiting to be given another term as a speaker, which is not even guaranteed with Wamalwa in the mix. I will in the meantime be waiting to see how Busia goes today. This is one county he is struggling in badly. Mmkuu I sincerely hope that Mudavadi can do the right thing as you suggest. From a community point of view, I think the luhyia are being naive to believe that Wetangula places them in a better position to be in government than when they go in as a united community arguing their case. For a fact even a round one winner will not ignore a united Western vote!The Urban luhyia are convinced that supporting Raila is their ticket to canaan - a fact I seriuosly doubt - for anyone trusting Raila today must have been living in Timbuktu or Mars based on how he has shown his hand of dishonesty to all his partners at the beginning of 2008! that is the logic the Ameru under one Mbus conductor aka Minister of Energy, KM is using. unite all the home boys and girls inside one Mbus aka APK and when they bag the Senator, Governor, MPs etc. whoever will be in power will have to reckon with that lot |

Meanwhile, to say Mudavadi had a very good outing in Busia county would be an understatement. The mood on the ground which surprisingly, seems to favor the amani coalition and its leader, reportedly prompted CORD to unleash terror on innocent wananchi who had just attended one of the huge rallies in Funyula.
Mudavadi has every reason to be feeling very good even as he winds up his western tour this evening. Despite the presence of Raila Odinga with his entire CORD team, Mudavadi has seemingly managed to sway the region in his favor.
The subtle message that came from this visit is, western electorate feel that as a region they are now ready for prime time and Mudavadi represents their only hope at the moment. The super majority are breaking his way.
The challenge now is for Mudavadi, Eugine and the rest of the team to maintain this kind of traction even as we head to the general.

One worrying thing for Amani coalition as well as Jubilee is that the Kenyan media which is largely controlled by the Kuleis and the SK Macharias seem to have come up with a silent policy to slowly lock them out of the news and covertly decampaign them as well.

Mudavadi is ready with his VP pick. Will he disappoint like Martha and PK before him?
