Superiority
Some of the Kenyan top politicians are boasting of massive and unquestioned support from their followers.
Like you witness during President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga's events.
Odinga, for instance, has in the recent past been able to attract some of the biggest crowds during his political functions.
This, in some of the politicians' minds, brings the impression of superiority as people are willing to shun their daily routines and endure heavy rainfall and the scorching sun for their sake.
The next lie
The political class is well aware that most Kenyans are like music lovers who will judge you based on the contest you give them.
As a result, since what they would like is to get more liking from the crowd, a liking that is likely to translate into votes at the end of the day, they will come up with anything provided that it is constitutional and appealing to the people.
Victory
To them, the higher the attendance the more votes they have in their baskets.
However, this is not always the case as there is a section of Kenyans who only come out as a result of curiosity.
Others will attend each and every rally before weighing the leaders' agendas then make a choice on who to vote.
Dominance
They know that they have full control over their followers.
The feeling gets stronger as the crowd cheers and agree with their announcements, however fictitious they are
However, there is the realistic group that understands that numbers do not automatically translate into votes.
