My People Rejected Me When I campaigned for Raila — Sabina Chege

At one time she looked set to move the mountain and even the media projected her as the next big thing to happen in Central Kenya.

In a candid interview with a vernacular broadcaster Sabina Chege, a prominent politician in Kenya, recently revealed her initial struggles while campaigning for Raila Odinga in the Mt. Kenya region. She faced significant resistance from her constituents, highlighting the deep-seated political divisions within the area. However, Chege quickly recognized her mistake and adapted her approach to better align with the region’s unique political dynamics.

Chege’s experience underscores the importance of understanding one’s constituency and being responsive to public sentiment. In the world of politics, flexibility and the ability to learn from experience are crucial for success. Chege’s willingness to acknowledge her misstep and adjust her strategy demonstrates political acumen and a commitment to serving her constituents effectively.

This revelation is likely to reshape Chege’s political strategy, particularly in her interactions with constituents in the Mt. Kenya region. By learning from her experience, Chege has positioned herself as a more effective and empathetic leader, capable of navigating the complex political landscape of Kenya.

What remains unanswered is could she have cut herself out a larger chunk of the national political cake if she stuck out with her support of Raila?
