He's Somali, the Luos, Kalenjin and others will get the presidency before he can even run. Have you seen how they reacted to the election results when Raila Odinga lost? Plus he doesn't hate the people in Dadaab or act like an Uncle Gikuyu so that makes him an extremist and he's been called an Al Shabaab sympathizer even though he pushed for KDF invasion of Somalia.
I am talking about Somalia. He is a Siyaasi weyn.
But i don't think presidency will do much for such a disunited group. Unless he runs for every federal office it won't make a difference past half of mogadishu.
