By-Elections, First Prediction

24/10/2025

0 Comments

 
First by-elections since 2024 will be held 27 November 2025 by the newly reconstituted IEBC.
1 senate and 6 MP seats will be up for grabs (I will not try to cover MCAs)

​Result Prediction
(based on what I know so far)

Senate

Baringo                Chemitei                             UDA 100%

National Assembly

Mbeere North     Karish                                  DP 75%, UDA 25%
Banissa               Hassan alias Barre             UDA 100%
Magarini              Kombe                                ODM 75%, DCP 25%
Malava                 Panyako/Ndakwa              DAP-K 60%, UDA 40%,
Ugunja                 Omondi                              ODM 100%
Kasipul                 Were/Aroko                       ODM 75%, Ind 25%
 
Will also be interested ton see whether any Kenya Moja candidates manage to make any impression (10% or more). I'm doubtful so far, but it’s a good test of whether the explicitly Gen Z non-ethnic concept will work operationally in Kenya’s political system. DCP is basically out of the race everywhere except Magarini, but DP is their proxy/ally in Mbeere N.

The Gachagua Impeachment Vote

24/10/2024

2 Comments

 
When it came to it, the impeachment vote against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on 8 October was decisive in the house, with 44 voting against, 281 in favour, 1 abstention and only 18 absent (many tactically).  Apart from his allies in Nairobi and Central Province, Gachagua's main defenders were the Wiper MPs, who had recently done a deal to back him, as a first step to a new political arangement as ODM moved closer to UDA.  Elsewhere, there were few ready to speak for him.

A history of Mombasa through the perspective of its political representatives. Part of a series (No.12). Had to do quite a bit of research to sort out the early period 57-62 better in my mind. There may still be errors, so please comment if you see them.
