Yesterday a reader left the following comment in this blog;
“The problem with PANU is the sitting MPs. Truth be told, most of them are not going to be re-elected. Whether it's by coincidence or design, they are all in Nark-Kenya. Through guerilla tactics they have been able to get nominations to vie using that party's ticket. Since the situation on the ground is different, their opponents had to look for ways of ousting them in the coming general elections. The option therefore being DP. This explains the differences being experienced in PANU.
In Central province, Peter Kenneth & William Kabogo are almost sure of re-election irrespective of party their party affiliation. The rest have a battle ahead of them. In their quest for re-election they are jeopardizing the President's campaign juggernaut. It will be a tall order to convince them to run on one party. Reason being, they will lose to new comers who can offer what they have failed in the last four and a half years.
Just listen to likes of Joshua Toro, Robinson Githae, Amos Kimunya and you will see that there's more here than meets the eye.”
Mathayo
I could not agree with Mathayo more. In this comment he has described the crux of the problem within PANU. Clearly it is something that is unreasonable.

Whoever is advising Kibaki politically is leading him straight to landslide defeat by ODM.
ReplyDeleteKibaki remains registered Chairman of DP, while at the using his ministers to nurture NARC-Kenya to full maturity. Now he surprises everyone by coming up with this non-starter called PANU/PNU. His ardent supporters; KANU, FORD-K and FORD-P are just full of 'flag-seekers" whose individual party constitutions say their respective Chairmen are "automatic presidential candidates" but yet fear to go for the presidency themselves.
Just who are the greenhorns advising this guy? Kitchen cabinet? Kibaki Tena, Vijana na Kibaki, Nyeri NARC-K activists??
Even aspirants who used to be herded into one party like sheeps are now demanding fair nominations or they defect to other vehicles.
Do you smell the sweet victory of ODM coming?
