Whatever
is going on in the hierarchy of CORD is definitely not in the interest of
Opposition followers, but a self-centered interest of each of the three
co-principals.
It
is a great let-down to the Opposition supporters who have over time and again
witnessed unending squabbles in the outfit.
The
three co-principals are in a position of recalling how sometimes they have had
to "sail through murky political landscapes" together with humility
and endurance.
The
captain of that political ship is a courageous man who can steer through
turbulent waters but can hardly land the ship into the dock, as all players on
the other side of the game are known to have marshalled their entire stamina
into the defence.

team-players on the opposite side do not hate Raila. No! They actually love and
admire him in the game of politics, but they also fear him.

It
is this fear that gives the other side of the game sleepless nights. They are

Now this time round, the leaders of the affiliate party members of the
coalition seem to be aware that the Opposition chief may not stand but will
definitely throw his weight behind a candidate of their choice.
This
must be the cause of the ugly situation we are witnessing in the coalition,
with a number of the leaders demanding that he should name the flag-bearer now.
The
leaders are all intelligent people who can solve such a matter amicably at a
round-table discussion without running to the Press every now and then with
chest-thumping tendencies.
