After learning that Sifuna sneaked to wamunyoro, my cohort and I have also sneaked our votes from him. We wish him the best though.

In as much as kuna times things were bad, just appreciate. Kuna mtu mahali alikuwa very bright in school but could go beyond 1st year juu walishindwa na fee ya 24K pekee yake. Kuna wengine fee ya high school iliwashinda. Kuna wengine walidrop ndio their siblings wasome. Bro, me nafikiria in this life kama umefika mahali unafaa tu kuappriciate and heal from past traumas.
Sifuna should be aggressive enough to go for the presidency or else they'll subject him to deputise one of these KANU orphans.
Sifuna will be on the ballot but He will not be a flag bearer. He will have to deputise someone. It will break the heart of most of his supporters though.

Last year July, I met Jirongo. We sat at Cedars, Lenana Road.
I expressed my disappointment with the elusive Luhya unity and the constant competition amongst Luhya siblings.
I then met Governor Natembeya somewhere in Karen. At the time, he was enjoying national attention with his Tawe slogan.
He was with Caleb Hamisi. I told the Governor that I am volunteering to unite him with Eugene and Jirongo, and also see it that through Eugene and Jirongo's parties, a union of ideas can be born.
At the time, Malava by-election campaigns were ongoing, and Panyako was running on Jirongo's party.
I then met Jirongo the next day at Kiprono Kittony's Sirwo Coffee Restaurant in Lavington.
He agreed to meet the Governor and then Eugene Wamalwa to unite them, so that they don't fall out.
We agreed that I should spearhead talks with younger Luhya politicians like Malala, Hamisi and Sifuna, then, together with Eugene, we would meet Mzee Atwoli, who would take us to Oparanya, Wetangula, and Musalia.
He also tasked me with meeting Governor Fernandes, so he would agree to end the conflicts between him, Nabii Nabwera, and Oparanya.
Our goal was for these Luhya politicians to discard political differences and start speaking for the M'baluhya.
Our other goal was for the older generation of Luhya politicians like Musalia and Gumo to support and mentor the younger ones.
From Busia to Busali, from Likuyani to Nyang'ori, from Kitale to Luanda, every corner of Luhya land would be speaking with one voice.
After the meeting, he called Panyako to follow up on Malava's campaign.
All was well.
He then said he was travelling to Libya and would be back in October.
We parted ways amicably, and I travelled back to Western.
A few days later, I saw Panyako with Natembeya, and I thought Jirongo had chosen not to field a candidate.
CJ was later disappointed that Panyako abandoned the party even after being funded to run on it.
Then Malala and DCP also dropped from the race, and I thought Jirongo had talked to him, as this was our behind-the-scenes discussion.
Since CJ had left, I chose to focus on other things.
On October 15th at around 6 am, I saw CJ's call and knew he was setting up another meeting, only for him to break the news of Baba's death.
This therefore meant we would wait. He set up a meeting in January 2026 because after the Funeral, there would be so much happening like by-elections in Malava, and then Christmas holidays.
"Amerix, we don't have time. If we don't unite these politicians now that Baba has left us, we shall be scattered," he said.
Unfortunately, CJ lost his life, on 13th December.
It was so devastating. A sad loss.
Now, when I see Caleb, Natembeya, and Eugene bickering, I get so disappointed.
Caleb has his party. Natembeya has taken CJ's party. Eugene has his party.
Even the fact that Kalonzo has ring-fenced "Ukombozi" yet Natembeya had all the time to amend Jirongo's party makes me wonder if Luhya political leaders are strategic and intelligent.
Political success requires strategy, cunning, Machiavellianism, persuasion, give-and-take and ruthless pursuit of goals, not just slogans and rallies.
Luhya politicians appear clueless, disorganized and and jealous of each other.
No one wants to see the other reach the top political summit.
Please, Abaluhya politicians, put aside your egotistical differences and work for the M'baluhya.
You will never attract meaningful collaboration if your house is divided.
Luhyas are stranded.
It is embarrassing.
I want to restart the journey of talking to these politicians.
Change or Perish.

The MWANANCHI clan is growing. Bigger and better.
Wewe ni MEMBER? Share your registration status with us.
On Thursday, the United Opposition Principals will sign a commitment document to pledge support for each other in case one of them is declared the single presidential candidate.
That will mark the first phase of Sifuna being swindled.
To be honest, Sifuna is a poor political strategist. By the time He wakes up, even His ID number will belong to someone else.

Politics requires strategy and working structures. If you want to know how irrelevant Sifuna is outside the social media circus and roadside rallies, let him register a party and try capture any of the 22 parliamentary seats in Ukambani, any of the 34 parliamentary seats in central, or any of the 76 seats in Rift Valley. With that party. Let me not even go to any of the 42 parliamentary seats in Nyanza or 22 in Upper Eastern.
That's why Kalonzo can only negotiate with him after locking Ukambani under his wings in Wiper or Rigathi after locking Mt. Kenya under DCP. They won't allow him get even an MCA in their strongholds using any party he forms. Rigathi is already talking about the amount of money he will get from the Political Parties funds once his fingerlings go to parliament. Same to Watermelon. – at Nairobi, Kenya
Sifuna’s followers are the biggest hindrance to a unified opposition because of they are too emotional and abusive.

I TOLD you that Sifuna’s SUPPORTERS are emotionally IMMATURE and abusive lot. Did Sifuna TRADEMARK the word "Ukombozi" or are they just intellectually BANKRUPT enough to think he OWNS Kiswahili? Where and WHEN did Sifuna use Ukombozi? This SYCOPHANCY is now bordering on COMEDY.
Babu has said many times that He supports Sifuna for presidency. We have never heard Sifuna say that He supports Babu for Gubernatorial seat. Who is fooling who!
