Ruto, Kalonzo kumenyana uchaguzi mdogo ukinukia Ukambani

UCHAGUZI mdogo wa wadi ya Migwani, Kaunti ya Kitui, umegeuka kuwa uwanja mpya wa mapambano ya kisiasa kati ya kiongozi wa Wiper Kalonzo Musyoka na washirika wa Rais William Ruto kuelekea uchaguzi mkuu wa 2027. Uchaguzi huo ulitokana na kujiuzulu kwa aliyekuwa Diwani wa Migwani, Harrison Maluki, ambaye aliacha wadhifa huo Agosti 6 na kuwa karani wa Bunge la Kaunti ya Kitui. Tume Huru ya Uchaguzi na Mipaka (IEBC) imetangaza kuwa uchaguzi huo utafanyika Novemba 17. Bw Maluki, aliyewahi kuwa kiongozi wa wengi katika Bunge la Kaunti ya Kitui baada ya kuchaguliwa kupitia tiketi ya Wiper, sasa anaonekana kuwa karibu na baadhi ya washirika wa Rais Ruto. Hatua hiyo imezidisha mvutano kati yake na Bw Musyoka. Bw Musyoka akihutubia wafuasi wake nyumbani kwake Kitui, aliwataka wakazi kuchukua fedha zinazotolewa na wapinzani wake lakini kumpigia kura mgombea wa Wiper. "Chukueni pesa hizo lakini mpige kura kuonyesha kuwa mko tayari kuleta urais nyumbani," akasema Bw Musyoka. Kiongozi huyo wa Wiper anataka chama chake kishinde uchaguzi huo ili kuonyesha kuwa bado kina ushawishi mkubwa katika ngome yake ya Kitui. Wanaowania tiketi ya Wiper ni aliyekuwa Diwani wa Migwani Patrick Munyithya Kani, Munywoki Mwangangi na Susan Mueni Nzoka. Hata hivyo, Wiper inakabiliwa na upinzani kutoka kwa baadhi ya washirika wake wa zamani, akiwemo Spika wa Bunge la Kaunti ya Kitui Kinengo Katisya na Bw Maluki. Wawili hao wanapinga kile wanachosema ni juhudi za chama kuzuia wapiga kura kuchagua mgombea wanayemtaka. "Wiper inapaswa kuwapa wapigakura wa Migwani nafasi ya kuchagua diwani wanayemtaka. Hatupendezwi na siasa za vyama," alisema Bw Katisya. Kwa upande wa serikali, washirika wa Rais Ruto akiwemo Mbunge wa Mwingi Magharibi Charles Nguna na aliyekuwa Seneta wa Kitui David Musila, wanaona uchaguzi huo kama nafasi ya kuvunja ushawishi wa Bw Musyoka katika kaunti hiyo. Wanaangazia miradi ya maendeleo ya serikali kama sehemu ya kampeni zao, hasa ujenzi wa barabara ya Kwa Siku-Migwani-Mbondoni. Baadhi ya wakazi tayari wanasema miradi hiyo imebadili maisha yao. Alice Mutwa, mfanyabiashara wa mboga mwenye umri wa miaka 60, alisema uchaguzi huo utampa nafasi ya kumshukuru Rais Ruto kwa maendeleo katika eneo hilo.

Ukumbusho wa Raila wageuka jukwaa la kupiga kampeni za 2027

MAADHIMISHO ya mwaka mmoja tangu kifo cha aliyekuwa Waziri Mkuu Raila Odinga yamegeuka kuwa uwanja wa mapambano ya kisiasa huku wanasiasa wakitumia jina lake kujipigia debe kuelekea uchaguzi mkuu wa 2027. Raila, aliyefariki Oktoba 15, 2025, alikuwa mmoja wa wanasiasa mashuhuri zaidi nchini na mwanzilishi wa chama cha ODM. Chama hicho kimeandaa shughuli za kisiasa za mwezi mzima za kumuenzi, huku viongozi mbalimbali wakijitahidi kujitambulisha na itikadi na sifa zake. Baadhi ya wanasiasa tayari wameanza kuchapisha na kusambaza bidhaa za kampeni zenye picha ya Raila pamoja na kauli-mbiu zao za 2027. Shughuli hizo zinaonyesha jinsi kumbukumbu ya kiongozi huyo imekuwa muhimu katika vita vya kutafuta ufuasi baada ya kifo chake. ODM inapanga kufanya mikutano Siaya, Kakamega, Garissa, Mombasa, Kajiado, Turkana na Nairobi. Ingawa mikutano hiyo imepewa jina la kumuenzi Raila, inaonekana pia inalenga kuimarisha ngome ya chama na kuhamasisha wafuasi kabla ya uchaguzi wa 2027. Chama hicho pia kinataka kutumia maadhimisho hayo kuonyesha mafanikio ya serikali ya muungano kati ya Rais William Ruto na ODM. Rais Ruto, ambaye alishirikiana na Raila katika Serikali Jumuishi baada ya maandamano ya Gen-Z ya 2024, anatarajiwa kuhudhuria hafla kuu ya kumbukumbu mjini Bondo. Hata hivyo, maadhimisho hayo yameibua pia vita vya urithi wa kisiasa wa Raila. Nairobi, Mbunge wa Embakasi Mashariki Babu Owino aliendesha hafla tofauti ya kuwasha mishumaa katika uwanja wa Jacaranda huku ODM na washirika wa serikali wakiongoza hafla ya Uhuru Park. Seneta wa Nairobi Edwin Sifuna, ambaye ameanzisha The Equitable Party, (TEP) pia alisema Oktoba ni mwezi muhimu kwa sababu Raila alifariki wakati huo. Bw Sifuna na viongozi wengine wa Linda Mwananchi Movement wanajiandaa kushiriki katika kinyang'anyiro cha 2027. Ndani ya familia ya Odinga, suala la mrithi wa kisiasa pia limejitokeza. Binti yake, Winnie Odinga, alitambuliwa na baadhi ya wazee wa jamii ya Luo kama mrithi wa kisiasa wa baba yake. Mama yake Ida na dada yake Rosemary walihudhuria hafla hiyo, huku Raila Odinga Junior akikosekana. Gavana wa Siaya James Orengo naye anatumia kipindi hiki kujipanga kwa uchaguzi wa 2027 na ametangaza nia ya kuwania urais. Kwa hivyo, badala ya kuwa tukio la kumkumbuka tu Raila, maadhimisho yake yamekuwa jukwaa la kujipigia debe, kujenga ushawishi na kutafuta urithi wake wa kisiasa kuelekea uchaguzi wa Agosti 2027.
