Opposition must learn from ‘Kibaki Tosha’
On October 14, 2002, Raila Odinga stood before a crowd at Uhuru Park and effectively settled a presidential contest in two words: “Kibaki tosha”. It would, as we all know with the benefit of hindsight, prove true. Ten weeks later, the National Rainbow Coalition took 62 per cent of the vote and ended 24 years of Moi and 39 years of Kanu rule.
Fewer people remember the memorandum. Behind the rainbow sat a private agreement between the coalition’s principals, promising a prime ministership and an even split of the Cabinet. It was never published, and the crowd at Uhuru Park never saw it.
