As the election date draws near, it is slowly becoming evident key OKOA Kenya Principals will never agree on who becomes their key flagbearer. The commitment the principals once had in the outfit is slowly but firmly fading away.OKA Key Principals | Image Courtesy
But unbelievably, their failure to produce a flag bearer would be a blessing in disguise.
Why?
If each of the principals insist on being at the ballot, the sad reality first is that the Kenyan 2022 August Presidential Election would most probably stretch into a run-off. This is obvious, it would difficult for the two front runners; Raila and Ruto, to gain the required 50+1% threshold.
But importantly, the presence of all the OKA chiefs at the August ballot would help strengthen democracy in the country as each of their parties would without any doubt, get elected Members of the County Assembly (MCAs, and Governors), and Parliamnetary slots (Senators, Mps and Women Representatives). This will hel avoid the dominance of either UDA or AZIMIO La Umoja.
