Coalitions Are No Guarantee
Kenyan politics has always leaned heavily on coalitions and alliances. Parties merge and split depending on convenience, and leaders often chase votes rather than solutions. While these alliances can give the impression of stability, history shows that coalitions alone rarely produce strong, consistent governance.
They often crumble under pressure, leaving citizens with unfulfilled promises. Heading into 2027, relying only on alliances could keep the country stuck in the same cycle.
Competence Matters
Merit isn’t just a buzzword—it’s about choosing leaders who have a track record of getting things done. Someone who can manage government effectively, make informed decisions, and handle crises will have a better chance of delivering results than someone who is chosen mainly because they bring a block of votes.
Merit encourages accountability and creates leaders who are more focused on performance than political survival.
The Limits of Alliances
Coalitions are often about politics first and policy second. Leaders in a coalition may have to compromise their vision to satisfy allies, and positions in government may go to loyal supporters rather than skilled professionals. This can slow down decisions and weaken service delivery. A focus on merit reduces these trade-offs, allowing leaders to prioritize results over deals.
What Voters Can Do
Kenyans have a role to play by paying closer attention to what candidates have actually done, not just who they’re aligned with. It means looking at their achievements, their plans, and whether they have the competence to see those plans through. It also means questioning alliances and considering whether the people in them are capable, not just popular.
Looking Ahead
Coalitions will always be part of Kenya’s political arena, but merit should be the deciding factor. Choosing leaders for what they can achieve rather than who they can bring to the table is key if Kenya wants better governance and more consistent results. It’s about practical leadership over political convenience.
