Malala had promised Rayila a total blackout in Kakamega, but when the latter made a colourful entry into the town, poor Malala called a presser to save face, only for this attempt to boomerang on him
When he posted the presser on his Facebook page, the whole thing exploded on his face with a barrage of insults burying his sentiments on Rayila supposed neglect of the region
An ANC euphoria in the county is what the senator needs to trounce his opponents in the gurbenatorial elections, as he is the most vigorous of the three seeking the party’s blessings for the position
This explains why he is pushing Mudavadi into presidency even when it is evident that the chances of the ANC supremo winning the seat in this election is very microscopic
He is literally pushing Mudavadi to the abattoir and as the son of Budamba gets slaughtered in the election, he will be romping home in a gurbenatorial victory
Again, for his bid, he may be suffering a fully blown Khalwale syndrome. The latter was widely popular as a senator and he won with a landslide and would’ve easily retained the seat, but gurbenatorial seat became the “mchongoma”, very difficult to ascend or descend
With Panyako’s defection to tangatanga, my good friend Wakili Wabuyabo is home and dry as far as his senatorial bid is concerned. Twill be a walk in the park
The other contestants seeking the ANC ticket for the race are, Savula the Lugari legislator and Mike Osundwa who performed dismally on the party’s ticket in the last elections
ODM has the highest number of aspirants for the seat with Fernandes Baraza starting as a favourite. Others are the present DG Prof Kutima, Laban Atemba and Samuel Omukoko. I know who will “win” the ticket here as others end up in premium tears
Khalwale is alone on the UDA ticket, essentially communicating the party’s unpopularity in the county and Sumba will be Kidion Moi’s man in the race, flying a KANU flag
