In a stunning twist of political reflection, former MP Kanini Kega has revealed that in the 2022 elections he supported multiple candidates—from the presidency to parliamentary seats—and ended up with a complete shutout: zero correct votes across all six posts he cast ballots for.
The revelation has compelled close allies of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to break their silence—and their response has turned heads.
Kega’s post struck a chord. He recounted voting for Raila Odinga himself and four other aspirants, only to watch every one of his picks lose. The experience left him grappling with a broader question: how many other Kenyans shared in this fate—casting votes that, tragically, missed the mark entirely?

What followed was not recrimination but somber solidarity from within Gachagua’s inner circle. An ally, speaking emotionally yet emphatically, dismissed Kega’s confession not as weakness, but as clarity.
“Sometimes, the truth stings,” they remarked, “but it’s only by acknowledging how far we missed the target that we can start recalibrating.”The tone was almost conciliatory—acknowledging the embarrassment of a political misread while reframing it as a rare opportunity for strategic rebirth.
The broader implications are seismic. Kega’s admission shines a blinding light on voter disillusionment: when even seasoned politicians hit rock bottom at the ballot, confidence in the electoral system fractures.
Meanwhile, Gachagua’s team appears to be crafting a message: not denial, not shame, but rebuilding—and rallying around lessons learned.

To the electorate, this moment may either read as a refreshing dose of political honesty—or a sign of systemic failure.
