ODM to conduct US-like primaries

ODM is set to redeem its image as the most Democratic party when it holds its primaries which will be a copy cut of the US system.

The US Republicans are currently in the race for the party ticket that will pick one of them to run against president Obama. Kenyans also still remember the much publicised race for the Democratic ticket when Obama won against Hillary Clinton.

In Kenya, the race will go to the counties where the two big wigs will flex their muscles against each other.

Even though Mudavadi is not likely to win the race, this will set a good precedence for party elections in Kenya.

Even though this is still not in ODM's constitution, the party is set to accommodate these changes when they converge their NDC. This race will be very interesting to watch.

Counties in the Rift Valley, Central and of course Western are set to be a big headache to the Prime Minister. This is because of the constant rivalry he has faced from these areas.

He will however have an easy ride in Nyanza, Nairobi, Coast, North Eastern, Eastern.

Mudavadi is the ODM savior

 

DPM and Sabatia MP Musalia Mudavadi is the only one who can save the ODM.

The recent so called wrangles pitching him against Raila Odinga are just but a way to strategically place him as the best running mate for the PM.

Having looked around and seen no other probable running mate, the PM is said to have decided that it will be Mudavadi for running mate.

Moreover, the consequences of dropping him were too great to bear.

It has taken the PM long enough to realise how much his deputy at the party was really worth (His secret weapon). As at now, the PM is more than convinced that he has the right man.

This is coming after recent revelations that Mudavadi is a soft landing for ODM and that the anti-Odinga forces were more comfortable with him.

On this note, Jamtaa confirms that there are no wrangles in ODM and that it was all about strategically place Mudavadi as a strong running mate.
