A two-horse race in politics is a high-stakes election where seemingly, only two candidates have a real chance of winning.

In this context, 'donkeys' can be described as candidates who apparently have no chance, as it's assumed that one of the two 'horses' will ultimately win.

In early 2013, I interviewed Prof James ole Kiyiapi at Serena Hotel, for an international media house.

This intense encounter allowed me to scrutinise his policy proposals and gain insight into the man's values.
