Who Are The Front Runners For President Of Kenya '07?

Looking through recent visitors to this site, I noticed an interesting search term used by somebody on Google which led them straight to this site. It was "most likely person to be the next president of Kenya."

Quite an interesting query except that it is a very difficult one to answer.

But maybe in this post we should focus on who the front runners for the presidency currently are.

Judging by the recent by-elections where the infant Narc Kenya political party captured 3 out of the five seats that were up for grabs, this is the political party to beat in 2007 and that would put its' candidate, Mwai Kibaki as the front runner for the seat currently.

The Kanu candidate who would be Uhuru Kenyatta would be a close second in the current presidential stakes. Kanu captured the two remaining parliamentary seats.

It is clear that LDP and it's candidate, Raila Odinga are currently trailing. Could it have something to do with the 1982 coup revelations, where Raila admitted involvement in the failed coup, that claimed many innocent Kenyan lives, in his recently published biography?

Kalonzo Musyoka, apart from being party-less at the moment is slipping (according to his much loved opinion polls which now put President Kibaki ahead of him.)

But then all this really means nothing. A lot can happen between now and election day 2007.

  1. Your Front runner post is as good as listening to idle chatter o the streets on Nairobi.

    No analysis and no new information.

    What you should have said is that it is too soon to comment even on who the front runners are!!!

    I believe the INFORMED SOURCES are waiting to see how the COALITIONS shape.

  2. Any INFORMED SOURCE... should know by now that it doesn't matter who comes up... they've ALL been tainted... and that COALITIONS... have never worked anywhere in the world... coalitions must be formed after a government has been choosen and not before...
