The news generated via the recently released political manifesto by Hon. Najib Balala presidential campaign and the increasing unity challenges that are facing the ODM-K party’s are enough reasons to hang onto Balala’s candidacy for the State House. As we write, it is questionable whether or not ODM-K will survive the trust fracas ignited by atwo of its top leaders. And, it is for this reason that Balala can become the ultimate torch-bearer for ODM-K and Kenya after the election.
It is clear that Hon. Balala has critical sets of characteristics that make him unique and a very potent candidate. He is from a minority angle in all sense of the word minority. Being an island Muslim from Mvita constituency and belonging to an ethnic group whose numbers do not threaten any other candidate within ODM-K. Balala is amply experienced, tested, and his vision is by all means “Tosha” for the future Kenya.
As a result, Coastals can now fantasize the idea of having a Coastal indigenous residing in the State House. In the USA, similar thoughts are blowing off the minds of black Americans and women who are salivating on the possibility of a historical representation in the White House via Senators Barrack Obama and/or Hillary Clinton in the 2008 general elections. It takes very little to awaken the hope of long forgotten minorities. This is a chance for Kenya.
Candidate Balala is very real because he will revive the powerful campaign momentum of the ODM-K. Balala candidature will bring the votes from the Nyanza, Western and the Eastern provinces through Hon. Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi, and Kalonzo Musyoka. His Muslim affiliations will lock North Eastern Province and the Coast.
In turn, a properly cultivated Uhuru Kenyatta vice-presidency may steal the votes from Central and a landslide for ODM-K in 2007 may be, after all, very possible. It will only require the support and unity of Hon. Raila and Kalonzo to envision a modern Kenya of hope and sanity through a candidate of promise and compromise; and Balala is the man for the job.
But Hon. Balala will not be able to do this without our support. Balala is in this not for himself as he is already an accomplished citizen. He is sacrificing all this in the name of Kenya. The change he envisions will never come from one person, but will come from the passion of your support and sacrifice. Therefore, take this as the chance that will lead to changes and it is important for all of us to fully participate and ask others to join this effort.
