In the recent past, opposition's Farah Maalim has adopted a powerful strategy that could spell the beginning of the end of Duale's political career in Garissa Township.
After months of verbal exchange of politically defamatory utterances between the duo, it is evident that Maalim has devised a new strategy to counter the politics of his greatest rival.
After the ugly incident at a city hotel where Maalim was involved in fist fight with a Somalia politician, the former has opted to remain silent, with his focus being to keenly watch the happenings taking place in his backyard.
A source close to the former speaker disclosed that the vocal Cord supporter has decided to explore other options to counter the influence of incumbent Duale, including but not limited to using influential community leaders and youths.
Even as it emerged that Duale has resorted to making personalized weekly visits to the constituency, the electorate may eventually turn against him in favor of Maalim, owing to his public statements that have been perceived to be humiliating.
Apart from the ugly city fight, Maalim has never been involved in any other shameful incident that could jeopardize his politics.
This, however, is expected to deliver wonderful outcome for Farah Maalim who has been predicted to either emerge as the overall winner or at worst become first runner-up if elections were to be conducted today.
