It is another season of political drama and madness. A season where politicians do things that, in their right minds, they would never have thought of doing.
It is a season of pretence, lying, coaxing and sweetness to the electorate to whip emotions and win the votes.
It is a season where politicians brand inner pants with their logo, ride bicycles to fetch water and even dive into the river to retrieve bodies of unknown persons. It is a cacophony of unsolicited events. A cocktail of political theatrics. Pestering and posturing.
The Kirinyaga theatrics
In Kirinyaga, it was drama and shock after angry residents protested after a local area politician allegedly bought and branded the panties with his logo.
The panties that were distributed to women received disapproval from the locals, terming them as a lack of respect and disgusting to the residents, and portraying them negatively in the national arena.
Kericho theatrics
In Kericho County, a female aspirant dived into a local river in the area to help retrieve a body of an unidentified person that was discovered in the area.
The female aspirant shocked the residents and onlookers after she dived into the raging river in her clothes.
Residents and onlookers congratulated her for the daring act of bravery, with some already declaring support for her.
Nyandarua drama
In Nyandarua County, a female aspirant rode her bicycle to collect water from a nearby water source for the residents.
The aspirant carried on her bike, per trip, three 20-litre jerricans of water and supplied them to the needy residents.
The three incidents are just a tip of the iceberg of what Kenyans will be witnessing when the 2027 campaign begins in earnest.
For village political consultants, it is another time to harvest, while the carpets will be welcoming mud and dust.
