People are wondering why Mike Sonko’s new signing to Linda Mwananchi has fascinated so many people. Well, Mike Sonko is not an ordinary political player, but a political juggernaut.
His impeachment remains perhaps the biggest impediment to his political comeback.
But before that happened, Sonko had already demonstrated the kind of political muscle he possesses. He once garnered more votes in Nairobi than the Uhuru-Ruto ticket. That is not a politician you casually write off.
Love him or hate him, Sonko has won the hearts of many ordinary Kenyans. He has built a political brand that goes beyond party structures and formal positions.
In football terms, Mike Sonko joining Linda Mwananchi is like a club pulling off a marquee signing on deadline day. The kind of transfer that suddenly gets everyone talking and makes opponents sit up and take notice.
You may question the player, his past or even his playing style, but you cannot deny the impact of the signing.
Linda Mwananchi may have just acquired a name, a following and a political street credibility that can move crowds. And in politics, just like football, sometimes one big signing can completely change the game.
Today Linda Mwananchi are in Omabei. Babu Owino has said that any goon that will try disrupt their meeting will see what Peter Kange'the saw at Tea Room in 1984.
