Robina , you can use state machinery to Rig by elections . Same like the ones Ruto lost prior to 2022 and you went balistic on team BBI winning .
The state machinery is overstretched during General elections and the voting centers where tallying is final is usually overrepresented by agents unlike during by elections meaning the scrutiny is very high.
Malava and Mbere is akin to Matungu and Kabucha prior to 2022 elections
1. Matungu Constituency (Parliamentary by-election)
UDA’s candidate lost to Amani National Congress (ANC), led by Musalia Mudavadi.
This defeat was one of several in a short period where UDA struggled against established regional parties.
The Star
2. Kabuchai Constituency (Parliamentary by-election)
Parliamentary seat was won by a candidate from Ford Kenya, led by Moses Wetang’ula.
The loss in Kabuchai underscored UDA’s challenge in Western Kenya.
The Star
3. Machakos Senatorial By-Election
UDA’s candidate lost in Machakos, marking a defeat in an Eastern Kenya region where UDA was still building support.
Though not a direct parliamentary seat, this loss was part of the pattern of electoral setbacks mentioned by party supporters at the time.
Mister,
Malava and Mbeere North are good examples for you.
People can be initmidated or physical stopped from voting.
Opposition candidates and agents can be arrested and disappeared.
Like Moi Rigged in 2002 and Raila Rigged 2007 where they both lost .
Rigging can be successful with several factors , However in current system its very hard to make it through rigging .
Oldun has accepted the reality that Ruto will rig 2027 like he did the recent byelections. You see Oldun is progressive not a stuck-up bozo like you Nad F&B. The stories about "Ruto has changed the system" are comical.
And then became Ruto apologist ….
