Why Raila Odinga Will Lose The Langata Parliamentary Seat



Intensive investigations by Kumekucha clearly show that if elections were to be held today, there is no way that Raila Odinga will be able to retain his Langata constituency seat.

What has been quietly going on at the constituency, behind the scenes is a very deliberate effort to ensure that thousands of Kenyans will be unable to vote not to mention the fact that tens of thousands of voters mainly from Central province have been registered in the constituency to vote with the sole objective of ensuring that the ODM presidential candidate never sees the inside of the 10th parliament, let alone the presidency.

Analysts are seeing a wider scheme that will give the numerous ODM supporters a nasty shock when election results are announced. It is also now crystal clear why the president did not renew deputy chairman Gabriel Mukele’s tenure at the commission despite a lot of pressure from the opposition, civil society and even the diplomatic corps. This latest revelation also clearly gives an indication of why there is no way that experienced Samuel Kivuitu’s contract at the helm of the ECK will be renewed. And this is the reason why the sly old man has started playing politics in a high stakes game that he could easily end up winning. With the latest information, it also now makes a lot of sense to elevate newly appointed commissioner Mrs Pamela Tutui to the helm of ECK. She would have no chance in hell of sorting out the mess that will emerge on election day with majority of Kenyans crying foul, many not fully understating what has been done.

But let me start at the beginning.

Impeccable sources have assured this writer that the President’s team has never quite...

  1. How does one man manage to make so many enemies in one lifetime? And wants Kenyans to believe that he can build relations with them if he cant even gel with everyone that he has woked with..does anyone need a list of who the One Dangerous Man has fallen out with?
    Life lesson: Never burn brigdes! You will need them to cross back to the real world after 2008.

  2. That's very true.There have been very many voters who have been exported from elsewhere. Even though a good number are from Central province, majority are Luhyas. That explains why Livondo is vying there.
    Now, according to the grapevine, what happened is that during the recent voter registration Luos were told to register in either Kasarani or Makadara. This was supposed to be a step towards ensuring that Raila is not the only Luo from Nairobi in the Tenth parliament. According to them, they didn't see any prospects of Raila loosing in the Lang'ata. This is a move they are regreting heavily. The man is in a fix right now.
    Mathayo.

  3. Chris, a few days ago I wrote something about this.

    Moi is the man scheming things from the background.

    The ODM has formally requested for the register of voters in Langata, Eldoret North, Sabatia and Mvita. This issue of vote buying is the only one that is beyond control of ODM and the Kenya Police ought to swing into action. Otherwise, multiple registration will be sorted within the next few weeks.

    I can assure ODM supporters reading this that Raila WILL be re-elected Langata MP and in the process also be endorsed as President of Kenya.

    Talking about the shock of our lives Chris, ARE GNU SUPPORTERS READY TO ABSORB THE SHOCK OF HOW DEEP CORRUPTION IS ENTRENCHED IN THIS GOVERNMENT??

    tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock - the bombshell is coming soon.

  5. If they are buying voter cards how many voter cards are they going to buy? Looking at the last elections Raila got some 37900 votes from his constituency! Can Livondo and Co buy that much votes? Another thing is Langata is a massive constituency with alot of educated and wealthy people,its not only Kibera!Livondo can't even read,he will be lucky if he gets 5000 votes!
