When IEBC announced the postponement of Kitutu Chache South Parliamentary election due to the death of Leonard Gwaro, a Jubilee Candidate in the race. Many people started training their eyes on the unrelenting Youthful Politician Anthony Kibagendi. Mr. Gwaro lost his life in a fatal road accident a few days to the general election. Before his death, Gwaro was earmarked as the front runners in the race that included the current MP, Richard Onyonka of Ford Kenya and Samwel Omwando of ODM.

With Hon. Onyonka it is understood that he was going to be on the ballot hence is move from ODM to Ford Kenya. Omwando squired it out with Anthony Kibagendi and it is believed that Omwando with the help of The Kisii County Government and the ODM luminaries conspired against Kibagendi and then shortchanged him (Kibagendi) in favor of Omwando. Which prompted the promising Youthful Politician Kibagendi walk out of ODM in protest and joined Jubilee. Read more on Kibagendi here

In Jubilee, Kiba as he is commonly known by his peers saw a future and decided to do the unthinkable. He shelved ambitions and decided to be a king maker, a man whose main purpose was to ensure the re-election of President Uhuru kenyatta. He achieved it excellently, the petition in the supreme court not withstanding. He also drummed up support for all the Jubilee candidate some of whom developed a cold shoulder towards him and ended shooting themselves in the foot.


Here, we are preparing for the Kitutu Chache South Constituencey by-election. Anthony Kibagendi's name is being thrown left, right and center in equal measure.  There are those of the opinion that Kibagendi is the right man to take on Omwando and Onyonka. Some feel like Kibagendi should endorse someone else to face out the aforementioned duo while still waiting for and hansome reward from his sweat. While others prefer Jubilee to snap Richard Onyonka from Ford Kenya which is a political toddler to face off the unpopular former mayor Omwando.

While all the above options are viable real and actionable, one thing is for sure: Anthony Kibagendi will be pivotal in the race whether he will be on the ballot or not. This is another filed day that awaits Kiba and he is not known as someone who takes hostages, He sees, He touches and then Conquers.  And that is Kibagendi for you.

ANTHONY KIBAGENDI MAKES JOASH MAANGI'S STINT IN JUBILEE LOOK USELESS AND HE IS NOT BEING MISSED..

By Haron Ototo Tony Kibagendi in one of the Kisii Roadshows, Photo: Felix Adams Before turning back to his vomit, Kisii County Deputy Governor Joash Maangi earned a name as the most important pillar in Jubilee as far as Gusii Politics is concerned. He was thought taunted to be one of the best mobilizers, strategist and political managers from Gusii. Everyone trembled in his name's mention even from the ODM team which pretended not to care much about him.  In fact, some ODM members were trying to water down his influence and called him names such as a tumbocrat or an empty shell. In away they believed that his departure at the time was insignificance and he was to be easily replaced when the time of shopping for Gov. Ongwae's running mate. Wait! They remained with a rotten egg in their face when they went back and begged him to run with Ongwae. By that time (going back to ODM) he has lost trust with his current team and I think because they missed a replacement on mat

By Haron Ototo Photo: Jubilee MCA aspirant for Bomorenda Ward. Hon. Mosoti Before and during Jubilee Party nominations in Kisii County, Jubilee hopefuls for the region's most coveted party Jubilee were riding on a high. Most of them could pick calls at anytime of the day, most of them could come down to earth to prove their point on humility. Some of them could go as far as applying a two hand shake salutation. This was to create an impression that they were the best. On the above factors, Jubilee ended up with dead logs as the MCA candidates to Kisii Count Assembly. For instance, in south Mugirango Constituency, Moticho Ward, the best candidate lost due to amalgamation of Opposition friendly candidates leading to the loss of one of the strongest Jubilee Members. Hon. Evans Mokoro who is the Deputy Speaker of the Kisii County Assembly, One of the few MCAs who were elected on a TNA ticket in Kisii lost because all his issues were left under the waters and they were not fairl

JUBILEE WAVE UNSETTLES AND STARTLES NASA CAMPS IN GUSII REGION

Photo: Felix Adams In one of  Mr. Bean's famous movies "Johny English" the operators in the villains camp played down John (The main character)  as influence by calling him an idiot. However, the main villain warned them of  of looking down upon an idiot who has the tendency of showing up when needed. He turned out to save day. The worst mistake which worked against the villain's camp was prejudice. As the anecdote above, NASA has had the tendency of writing Jubilee off in Gisii politics to the point that they felt in a comfort zone. Now as things look, the damage has already been done and the worst is yet to come and NASA have been caught off guard not once, not twice but many times. The Jubilee infiltration is causing anxiety, settlement, fear, embarrassment and the negative attributes of a potential looser. To some extent, NASA local operatives have resorted to unorthodox means to frustrate Jubilee campaigns in th
