Deputy Prime Minister of Kenya Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta is likely to win the 2012 general election if his campaign and strategy can assail the contests rough.
While Uhuru has so far taken a policy of acquiescence, avoiding too much politik and media limelight, the effects of his recent efforts are paying off with many intelligence reports showing he can win the election.
NGO Reports and intelligence findings put Uhuru at good stead with most of the most populous communities in the country finding him favorable for the presidency.
However many factors come up against this possibility particularly the ICC and scandals riding in the current regime which he has served. While Uhuru is not part of the scandals, the regime he serves is part of them.
Mr Kenyatta has attempted to prevail upon popular notion that the Kenyan politik is merely a tribal melee and that without Odinga in the thick of it, it could not be such a sour grape. This policy is a great weapon indeed.
Analysis
The Kibaki regime so far remains the most successful and obviously the best since independence in terms of economic development, human rights, education, and health care provision. The trickledown effects of these gains have manifested in almost every corner of the country.
Human rights groups and lobbies besides a free press can do audits and report freely their findings. Health care and economic empowerment efforts have been force.
Uhuru has been busy establishing networks and serious backers while still maintaining close association with influential former legislators whose losses at the ballot were not significant. This means the following of such ex-MPs was and is still very significant.
