Prof Mutahi Ngunyi shift to Ruto camp analyzed

Flashback to 2013 politics in Kenya reveals the true character of Prof Mutahi Ngunyi as Kenyans continue to be disturbed by his recent switch from Azimio to the Ruto camp

The Role of Prof Mutahi Ngunyi

Against this backdrop of innovative campaign strategy, enters Prof Mutahi Ngunyi. A renowned political scientist and analyst, Ngunyi was already known for his incise analysis and thought-provoking ideas. But it was his involvement in the 2013 campaign that would cement his place in the annals of Kenyan politics.

Ngunyi was instrumental in developing the "Tyranny of Numbers" theory that predicted Uhuru's victory. This theory, which was shared widely on local mainstream media, argued that the numerical strength of the ethnic groups supporting Uhuru would ensure his victory. The theory was controversial but it stuck, contributing to a perception of inevitability around Uhuru's win.

"You cannot tell the story of Prof Mutahi Ngunyi in Kenyan politics without telling the story of Uhuru Kenyatta and how he introduced selling politics on social media."

The Fallout: Misuse of Social Media

Unfortunately, the successful use of social media in political campaigning has led to its misuse. Politicians have taken to social media to spread propaganda, fake news, and hate speech. UDA and whatever side Dennis Itumbi is promoting has always been notorious for this.

The very platforms that once brought Kenyans closer to their leaders have become a battleground of misinformation and manipulation.

The role of Prof Mutahi Ngunyi in this story is complex. On the one hand, he was part of a pioneering effort to use social media in politics. On the other hand, his "Tyranny of Numbers" theory has been accused of promoting ethnic divisions and deepening the problem of tribalism in Kenyan politics. And most important it was a fallacy and definitely NOT factual. But it worked and usually, that is all that matters in politics.

Post 2008 Uhuru Kenyatta was in the grand coalition government but was quietly putting together his presidential campaign for 2013. The nerve centre of his campaign was at the Chancery. I got word about the setup which had intrigued many people who could not quite understand what it was. Don't miss; Prof Mutahi Ngunyi secrets to fix Raila in new Ruto partnership
