Umaarufu gani umeongezeka??? Yaani senate na governors anao 51% pekee ndio kaongezeka- Narudia tena, Kenyatta hajapunguza umaarufu, ila ameongeza ambapo ni tofauti na ilivyo kawaida Kenya.
- Sio kila gavana aliyepigiwa debe na rais aliibuka kuwa mshindi, ni jambo la kawaida hilo, kumbuka kuna hata magavana wa kujitegemea waliofaulu kushinda wale wa rais. Japo tu wanaegemea upande wake
- Mnamo 2013 Uhuru alishinda kwa 51%, leo hii ameshinda kwa 54% wakati upinzani wameungana wote na kukusanya kura zao
- Kenya huwa kuna ushindani balaa, kwa rais kuzoa 54% sio mchezo, yaani hapo jamaa aliuza sera zake mpaka basi.
Kazi kweli kweli naona hapa tunaweza kesha kudebate obvious things yaani unasema maeneo bunge 17 then chama chenye serikali kiu kinaambulia 53% ya majimbo ya nairobi its an achievement????
Unadai passaris alipewa na jubilee je odinga kura zote zile za nairobi alipewa na nani??? Kidero je kura zote zile malaki alipewa na nani???
Umaarufu gani umeongezeka??? Yaani senate na governors anao 51% pekee ndio kaongezeka
Umaarufu umeongezeka wakati NASA wsiokuwa na serikali wamepata 7 million????
Ukipishana kwa 3% kati yako na upinzani, ujuwe hauna chochote kitakacho pelekwa bungeni kikapita kwa urahisi, tena ikitokea baadhi ya wabunge wako wakaamua kupiga kura na upinzani. Jubilee wanachotegemea hivi sana ni kuongeza idadi yao kupitia maelewano na vyama vingine vidogo pamoja na wabunge wa kuteuliwa. Lakini hata hivyo bado ni hatari tuu, maana na upinzani na wao watatafuta maswahiba wao ili kuongeza idadi.Sikuelewi unatumia mantiki ipi maana nimesema walikua na gatuzi 18 muhula wa kwanza, sasa zimeongezeka na kuwa 25, hapo sijahesabu gatuzi ambazo zilinyakuliwa na magavana walioegemea upande wa Jubilee. Likija kwa wabunge ndio usipime, yaani Uhuru raundi hii ashindwe mwenyewe maana Wakenya wamemkubali na kumpa kura vilivyo, ana dhamana kamili, atimize miradi aliyoanzisha.

Japo uchaguzi haujaisha kitokana na kesi za kiuchaguzi zonazoendelea, NASA na wao wataongeza number zao. Kama wasipo ongeza, Kenya taratibu itakuwa nchi ya chama kimoja ndani ya vyama vingi.Narudia tena, 2013 walikua na wabunge wachache zaidi ya walivyo sasa.
A clear majority in parliament paves the way for Kenya's Jubilee agenda
Kenya's Jubilee Party will have unfettered control over both the National Assembly and Senate, which will see it push through its legislative agenda, including amendments to sections of the Constitution that require a two-thirds majority.
As of Friday, Jubilee had 194 MPs out of 337 in the National Assembly and the number could rise as the country awaits the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to gazette the names of nominated MPs, where Jubilee will claim the lion’s share of the available 12 slots.
In addition, the party will also enjoy the support of independent MPs, who insiders say, could be offered slots in parliamentary committees to entice them to back Jubilee.
In the Senate, Jubilee claimed 27 out of 47 available and is assured of more nominated senator slots, based on its performance in this election.
Political Parties Fund
Combined with the privileges it will enjoy from the State as the ruling party, Jubilee Party will also get the lion’s share of the Political Parties Fund, which is usually allocated based on parties’ strength in parliament.

The law requires the government to allocate at least 0.3 per cent of the national budget every financial year to the Political Parties Fund. Parties must have 20 elected members of the National Assembly, three elected senators, three elected governors and 40 members of County Assemblies to qualify for funding.
The first agenda in the Houses will be election of speakers, a fight Jubilee will engage in with an upper hand, though if need be, will have to lobby a few Members of Parliament to get a two-thirds majority win in the first round, if its numbers are below 232.
Gender rule
This means that getting a two-thirds majority in passing crucial Bills that could change the Constitution will be an easy task when the 12th Parliament convenes.
Its inability to marshal two-thirds majority in the last parliament made it difficult for the ruling party to pass a gender rule, which could have seen the next parliament strike a deal to see more women in parliament.

While President Kenyatta controlled the majority in the National Assembly with a combined force of 167 MPs, the opposition had 130 MPs, with the rest going to small parties that later teamed up with the ruling party.
This “tyranny of numbers” helped the Jubilee government push through its agenda in the 11th Parliament, including amendments to crucial electoral laws despite protests from a numerically weak opposition. Some of the laws, however, were declared by the courts to be unconstitutional.
However, in the just-concluded elections, the number of opposition MPs has dropped significantly. It is also likely that Jubilee will work with those elected on friendly parties like Maendeleo Chap Chap and the independents.
Jubilee trounced the opposition parties in regions where internal competition among affiliates of the National Super Alliance (Nasa) split the votes.

Raided strongholds
For instance, Jubilee Party won nine seats in western Kenya, perceived to be an opposition stronghold due to internal competition between affiliates Orange Democratic Movement, Amani National Congress and Ford Kenya.
Jubilee increased its numbers in parliament courtesy of the inroads it made in Nasa’s strongholds like Kakamega (four), Bungoma (four), Kisii (two), Nyamira (two) and Migori (two).
The ruling party campaigns in Machakos and Kitui counties, the strongholds of Wiper Democratic Movement, headed by Kalonzo Musyoka, Mr Raila Odinga’s running mate bore fruit after winning three seats — Machakos Town, Kitui East and Kitui South constituencies.
A weak opposition in parliament will expose the country to bogus laws and skewed appointment of key government officials who only need endorsement by MPs in order to assume office.
According to the Constitution, parliament vets senior government officials, among them Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and members of various constitutional commissions.
Once sworn into office, President Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto will embark on constituting a government, which will see some fresh faces joining as Cabinet Secretaries and heads of constitutional commissions, whose terms in office are almost coming to end.
For instance, the term of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission commissioners ends in November this year, and parliament will vet new appointees before formal appointment by the president.
Successors
Other senior government officials whose terms will come to an end next year are Attorney-General Prof Githu Muigai and Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko, whose successors will have to pass through Members of Parliament before President Kenyatta makes the formal appointments.
Committees, where most parliamentary work is done will also be dominated by Jubilee MPs and their numbers will rise if independent MPs and other parties are co-opted to elbow out the opposition.
A clear majority in parliament paves the way for Jubilee agenda
Na huo ndio wasiwasi wetu, kwamba serikali isiishie kuwa na nguvu nyingi sana bungeni maana watakua wanapitiza hata uozo bila kukaguliwa.Japo uchaguzi haujaisha kitokana na kesi za kiuchaguzi zonazoendelea, NASA na wao wataongeza number zao. Kama wasipo ongeza, Kenya taratibu itakuwa nchi ya chama kimoja ndani ya vyama vingi.
Nairobi is a cosmopolitan city kama Dar....hapa wengi wao naamini walipiga kura kwa kutazama sera za wagombea...huyu Kidero hata sijui 2013 alipata aje..naamini jina la Odinga lilimbeba back then...ukibebwa basi ubebeke huyu Kidero kwa hio miaka minne Nairobi imekua hovyo kuliko alivyoikuta...wapiha kura wengi hawakumhitaji tena maana the city is stinking and mismanaged chini yake....Kazi kweli kweli naona hapa tunaweza kesha kudebate obvious things yaani unasema maeneo bunge 17 then chama chenye serikali kiu kinaambulia 53% ya majimbo ya nairobi its an achievement????
Unadai passaris alipewa na jubilee je odinga kura zote zile za nairobi alipewa na nani??? Kidero je kura zote zile malaki alipewa na nani???
Hahahahahaa ngome mmewapiga??? Ngome gani hiyo mkuu niambie hata moja ambayo jubilee kaitoa kwa NASA zaidi kidero tu ambaye mlishinda kwa gap ya 100,000 thousand votes pekee hivyo sio significant gap kutuaminisha kuwa NASA stronghold was overrun mfano mombasa mlimuweka kibaraka wenu omar hassan ameaibika!! Machakos kitui mbona hamjazirudishi jubilee ilihali kulikuwa na internal wiper conflicts???
Hao jubilee mbona wametolewa huko bungoma na kina wafula??? Au hiyo hukuiona kwa ufupi jubilee had the government by now it was supposed to have a moderate advantage of above 65% ya senate na gubernatorial seats sio mnagawana nusu na other parties kwa ufupi ni kwamba jubilee imekataliwa kwenye nusu ya kaunti za kenya because if u have a government for 5 years and still fail to win half of nation's counties it means simpy UMEKATALIWA na wakenya unlike for odinga and NASA who had nothin to lose afterall they had no NASA/CORD government for the last 5 years
All in all conclusion is HALF OF KENYA HAIMTAKI JUBILEE/UHURU.....
Mkuu mimi ni Mtanzania hivyo sina interest na NASA or Jubilee ila napenda demokrasia thats allWere you listening to Chebukati when he was announcing the result? Uhuru won in more than 34 counties taking control of the counties that were initially perceived as ODM stronghold. look at kwale ,mvuria winning on jubilee ticket ,Lamu,narok kajiado,wajir ,marsabit ,nyamira and garisa odm controlled those counties in 2013 ,and the governors were odm ,but now the story is different. Accept the defeat and move on. kuja jubilee tufanye kazi ,I know you are now orphan Jubilee's house is big will accommodate you.TUKOPAMOJA.
Mkuu mimi ni Mtanzania hivyo sina interest na NASA or Jubilee ila napenda demokrasia thats all
What am sayin is that odinga is not finished politically as the motion is stressing.... simply because he was just beaten by 1 million votes now did 34 counties produce just a 1 million gap??? Is that something to celebrate??? Funny thing is that jubilee has only clinched half of the gubernatorial and senatorial seats how does it make jubilee a powerful party at the same time NASA a loser???
An incumbent president to only have simple majority win and u call NASA orphans??? Anyway congrats to jubilee and best of luck to all kenyans
