What is the allure of the benevolent dictator?
As the country prematurely gears up for the 2027 elections, several names have been fronted as ideal candidates to run against the incumbent President William Ruto.
Some popular names so far have been Fred Matiang'i, retired Chief Justice David Maraga, Senator Okiya Omtatah and, more recently thanks to his track record in Murang'a, Governor Irungu Kang'ata.
Indeed, the buzz behind some of these names has resulted in the Jubilee Party picking Dr Matiang'i as their presidential candidate.
