Opposition chief Raila Odinga is currently grappling with growing cases of rebellion in his Luo Nyanza bedrock, a region whose kingship slot he has held for over 20 years.
And obviously desiring to reclaim his glory as the unquestioned and ultimate decision maker in the lakeside area, he will be forced to start by eliminating the hostile elements.
Therefore, he will have to uproot the likes of Migori Governor Okoth Obado, his leading threat in the region currently, by ensuring that such people have no say going forward.
Raila must use his influence to ensure that aspirants endorsed by the likes of Obado do not win in 2022, as otherwise, they will represent Obado's rebellious nature in the next season.
The other technique is by heavily considering Luo Nyanza with regards to his newfound African Union Infrastructure Development chief, but not forget the remaining parts of the nation.
Failure to this, he will have created room for his detractors to bash and ridicule him, their argument being that he has failed to consider his people and is, therefore, not the best option.
The silver bullet is to ensure that his Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party holds free and fair primaries ahead of the 2022 general elections.
Shambolic and unfair primaries have for a long time been the issue that has earned Raila most of his detractors in the region, and nationally and he will have to eliminate it once and for all.
By so doing, losers will have no reason to gang up against him on allegations that his party is undemocratic and bias, resulting to fewer rebels.
He also has to re-energize his relationship with the people on the ground so as to deny his detractors any room to drift away with his people who have always supported his presidential bids.
Once he restores the personal touch with the people, they will remain loyal to him no matter how many rebels he has in the region, and their opinions and remarks will not have any effect on the people.
