Contrary to false, full throat expectations, accusations and public misinformation, propaganda and malicious reporting from a section of the political class which has benefited from Mudavadi’s support over the years, Mudavadi is now proving, he will not bend, yield, carry or lend any one his back as he did in the past elections. Lately there have been misinformation in the public arena with intention to paint the doyen of Kenyan politics as someone who was going to support ODM leader in the forthcoming elections.
Despite the murky course and negative campaign in main stream media, Mudavadi has without fear of contradiction halted plans from the malicious class ” a section of the political class” through a simple clarion call that was delivered in Kakamega ” Let the people decide” He said it while addressing a mammoth crowd in Kakamega town few weeks ago. No one expected Hon. Musalia Mudavadi will without fear face the manipulative political class and claim his space and clarify his bid for 2022 in a such a bold and clear statement ” Let the people decide . Let the people decide has rejuvenated his political base and Kenyans like never before.
And while speaking in Githurai Nairobi county, Hon. Mudavadi did not mince his words, he reiterated, ” let the people decide” The ANC boss, excited the masses that had come to listen to OKA luminaries, with that statement, Let the people decide. Lately Githurai has become synonymous with heavy cutting statements from political leaders. Hon. Mudavadi saying ” Let the people decide ” is one thing for him and his supporters, but the effect of the statement is another thing for the supporters of the Hon. Raila Odinga.
Within ODM circles this statement is not the best echo that Raila strategists want to listen to, some operatives are mad at Hon. Mudavadi and are making frantic visits to have President Uhuru convince Hon. Mudavadi back Hon. Raila Odinga. They believe if Hon. Mudavadi is on the ballot, the outcome of 2022 will be as follows. Hon. Mudavadi will emerge number 1, followed by Hon. Ruto as number 2, and finally Hon. Raila Odinga as number 3. This is the truth, facts and statistics are there to back it.
Sources within the UDA and ODM says that the number of people who are filling the public rallies attended by Hon. Ruto and Hon. Raila Odinga are majorly paid to attend. Some are receiving as much as Ksh: 1000 or Ksh: 500 to attend these rallies. And they are concerned that these numbers will not determine who will be a winner or translate to actual results come 2022. The people who will vote are majorly in the IEBC data base and if you go by the data base you will realize that filling a stadium with paid people is zero work. The sources lamented.
Ideally, Hon. Mudavadi is giving a sense of confidence to registered voters by declaring to them, that, no one should force a leader on you or on the republic of Kenya. This is an act of defiance never seen or heard from Hon. Mudavadi. There is a theory, Uhuru has a predetermined mind about 2022 outcome and the theory of Uhuru forcing Hon. Mudavadi to support Hon. Raila was actually demoralizing many voters who were thinking that there is no point of voting if the outcome is already determined.
After the rally, www.goodmorningkenya.com decided to visit Githurai and sample reactions from residents who attended the rally. Speaking to good morning Kenya, some elderly people who attended the Guthurai rally said, “Mudavadi is now speaking our language, we want to choose our leaders and we don’t want someone imposing someone on us” Said Mwaura. ” Uhuru should peacefully end his term and allow us to determine the future of this nation through the ballot, Said Kamau.
We know President Uhuru want to force Hon. Raila on Mt. Kenya, but we will reject that move by any means necessary. Our hope is Hon. Mudavadi if he doesn’t support Hon. Raila. We are sticking with Hon. Ruto to avoid Hon. Raila but if Hon. Mudavadi is on the ballot, then we will avoid Hon. Ruto and Hon. Raila equally on the voting day. This country needs a sober leader who is not erratic. If you look at Hon. Ruto and Hon. Raila, they both look like people who are holding vengeance and that’s not good for business and growth of the republic”, Ngunjiri Said.
In a nutshell, ” Let the people decide clarion call” is sinking with the mood of the people in the country to day. Forcing, coercing or imposing leaders on Kenyans is an act that is not going to be accepted but rejected by all means necessary. In the backyard of Hon. Musalia Mudavadi, Mulembe nation does not want to hear anything other than Hon. Mudavadi being on the ballot. The Mulembe nation believe that they have done their part in supporting Hon. Raila Odinga and the coming election is their moment to choose Hon. Mudavadi without giving blanket support to Hon. Raila Odinga.
