Political analyst Herman Manyora has drawn parallels between Raila Odinga's delayed 2022 presidential declaration and the current opposition's uncertainty over its presidential candidate, arguing that declaring a bid too late could undermine their preparations ahead of the 2027 elections. He cites Raila's experience, noting that he announced his candidacy towards the end of 2021, leaving limited time before the election #HomeOfHardTruths

Herman Manyora: In 1992, nobody imagined that Moi would win the elections. Today, that is what many people think: that Ruto cannot win. Beating Ruto is not a walk in the park. It is not easy! #ThePeoplesBreakfast #HomeOfHardTruths @HManyora @ctmuga & @mungalambuvi

Herman Manyora: Once the opposition has named a presidential candidate, we don't even need to wait for the IEBC. The state must arrange for his security. They think Ruto is so weak that you can put a dog against him and the dog will beat him #ThePeoplesBreakfast #HomeOfHardTruths @HManyora @ctmuga & @mungalambuvi

Herman Manyora: Sifuna is popular right now. In fact, he is the most popular candidate in the opposition. Whether that popularity can translate into enough votes to beat Ruto is another story #ThePeoplesBreakfast #HomeOfHardTruths @HManyora @ctmuga & @mungalambuvi

Herman Manyora: Opposition leaders are not ready. All of them know who can beat Ruto. Everybody knows. Kenyans know. Why are they wasting time? Fred Gumo should tell them. If you have a wife, she knows who can beat Ruto right now #ThePeoplesBreakfast #HomeOfHardTruths @HManyora @ctmuga & @mungalambuvi

Mbuvi: Are you saying that President Ruto has sent people into the opposition? Herman Manyora: He would be a fool not to have done so. If I were him, I would do the same to destabilize the opposition. #ThePeoplesBreakfast #HomeOfHardTruths @HManyora @ctmuga & @mungalambuvi

You have a point, a serious one.
In the run-up to the 2017 elections, Jubilee leaders talked so badly about ODM in Central Kenya that by the time Raila had a handshake with Uhuru in 2018 and agreed to work together, they couldn't undo the damage in 2022, and voters didn't like anything with ODM colours despite the new working relationship. I am seeing CS John Mbadi leading the attack on UDA in Nyanza while they know that our presidential candidate will come in UDA colours. They don't want UDA to raid their backyard, but ODM is raiding UDA even in Rift Valley where we have just now received over 30 aspirants defecting to ODM. Isn't Rift Valley UDA's backyard? CS Suba South, how will you undo the damage after all the badmouthing you are doing now? Do you know you need to make voters aware that UDA is a friendly party, and that they need to come to love their presidential candidate? How will you do that when you spend all your extra energy away from campaigning for Queen Lucy on attacking UDA? What is this you are doing? When do you plan to start undoing the damage?

My friend, I think you got it wrong: @SimbaArati was not making reference to the president @WilliamsRuto. He was referring to nonconditionists. That's what the English says.
Telling the President not to negotiate or not to have conditions only with his wife and kids was a very unfortunate slip-up. We need to ensure that we respect our Principals even when we are prosecuting the issue of negotiations. ODM has organs. With or without conditions, the party organs must find ways to address the issue and prevent senior party leaders from belittling the President in public. One CS was recently belittling the Deputy President. Now we are belittling the President. I ask us to have some decorum just as we have protected Party Leader Oburu Odinga from any such acts.

Now, this is what I call BRILLIANT in capital letters. We only need 5 Dr. Mutakha Kangus and we can sort out what ails Kenya in 6 months. We need an architectural, structural and systematic overhaul. The mediocre pretenders calling themselves leaders are DEALERS—from Ruto, Gachagua, Maraga, Kalonzo to Sifuna. Bravo, Mutakha. youtu.be/BKNaMgvuFp4?si=rh8M…

If you are already a registered member of TEP- You do not need to register again. Its just the change of name that has been happened to now become The Linda Mwananchi Movement Party. Halafu juu sisi kama Linda Mwananchi, lazima tufanye public participation. What name would you choose for our Linda Mwananchi Movement Party HQ? There was Chungwa House for Baba. What should we name ours? Twende kazi!

Bwaana, you're reigniting our TEARS!
I kept my passes from KQ flights 202 and 203 to and fro Mumbai on 15/16 October 2025. I couldn’t tell you what the toughest part of the day was, receiving the news in the morning or taking that flight to Mumbai. But I digress. I want to say Ahsante sana to some key people who made everything possible in very difficult circumstances. 1. The Indian High Commission in Nairobi and the Indian Government. I don’t know how many rules of international travel were bent to make that flight happen. Ahsante sana. 2. @KenyaAirways management and the flight crew led by Capt. Saviemaria Ondego. Absolute class. Bwana on the way back we thought our tears had dried then she hit us with that call change to RAO001 when we entered our airspace. Wacha tu. God bless. 3. The regular passengers on those two flights. Many were bumped off. Heavy seat changes to accommodate the delegation. Long delays especially on flight 202. Many had no idea what was happening until we were airbone and the captain made the announcement. Apologies for the inconveniences on that day, but you were very gracious. God bless. 4. The @kdfinfo . Bwana for the honor extended to Baba, we his people will forever be grateful. Salute🫡
