Are the opposition parties equipped to lead?

Kulmiye will held its 2nd congress late March. All eyes are On that congress, the party is seriously divided many issues.

One main issue is: the election of its leader and both executive And central committees, but whether the party moves forward Or backwards largely depends the 500 delegates.

Remembering that as long as the party congress is done in An open and democratic manner, dissent, debate, consensus Building and compromise will always be an essential part of It’s success or otherwise.

The challenge for the preparatory commission is to develop a set of Comprehensive, Coherent, and practical proposal for how delegates will be divided in a manner which satisfies the two main contenders, and other possible aspirants. The division of delegates into clan based formula, if it’s true, will erode the reputation of the party as well as its future existence.

The two previous losers has less chance to defeat incumbent which is At the moment more experienced, stronger and heavier then five years ago. In other words, his recent success of eastern regions, and his persistent diplomatic Accomplishments will be the center of his reelection and it is one more Glee for him to compete people he know well both their weaknesses and strengths!

Since the two opposition leaders has failed miserably to materialize their dominance At the lower house of Parliament so far, it is implausible that population will Reward them yet again, but opposite is likely to happen and Rayaale has brighter Future then both faysal and Ahmed. Unless the opposition parties nominate new Leaders which are as visionary and idealist as the Late Tomboya; otherwise they will not only fail but they will fail as how kalonzo’s miracle has failed.
