The current Kisii University Students Association (KSUSA) leaders are warming up to leave their seats.
This means that the election is around the corner.
There are those who are yearning for it again while there are those wishes not may be due time limitation as they are finalizing their studies.
The elections usually start at home, right from the elders' endorsement, then the community then at the top level.
Most of the time, after endorsement from the elders one's hand is raised as a kingpin thereafter sent for the top tier cake.
At Kisii University the case is not different. The elders are the fourth year students and the outgoing executive members, and the community is likened to the county associations.
MEETINGS IN SCHOOL, RESORTS AND RESTAURANTS
Numerous conclaves have been held in ensuring these political projects are wielded to encounter their opponents.
The whispers in the corridor have it that these secret meetings are held late hours of the evening where the elders book for a room and the aspirants to be are told to sponsor such meetings, within the institution one may see a quorum with high profile influential people, as you walk you may think that it is discussion on academic matters but the indication of it being a political conclave is that people in such group tend to speak in humming sound as opposed to normal group discussions where members would interact happily and speak audibly.
Some of the meetings are perceived secret to an extent they organize them in Kisii Town in various restaurants and resorts. This is also to make ways unpredictable to their political nemesis.
THE HARD ROUGH SPIKED ROAD
For one to be a leader he must be ready to sacrifice. The aspirants to be are just treading on a slippery ground to make things meet so as to clinch the seats little do they know they are still plunged in a ravine and they have no ladder to be taken them out.
It is still being rumoured that elections is forthcoming but no official communication has been made by the institution regarding the same, this therefore means that if such political meetings are discovered by the institution then they reaching the ballot is obscurity.
Besides disqualifications looming, these meetings they sponsor may not benefit if the transparency shall be the mirror, financially they will lose.
The endorsement a times have fail in comparison to the Kenyan National politics, where one of the Kenyan leaders, who made it in the first runner's up in the last held general elections failed to clinch the presidential seat despite endorsement from political bigwigs and other communities.
THE SCHISM AND DISSENSION
Birds in the air also has it that there is a discord within the regional communities, these counties fall from one region of the country and the counties have different endorsement and they are speaking different languages as at now. This is on the basis of endorsement as one aspirant who is claiming to be going for an high top seat have a strong stand that he is mature enough and prepared to soldier alone without any blessing. The aspirant is said to be one of the outgoing KSUSA executive and now is yearning to go up the ladder.
THE AMOR FATI FROM THE OPPONENT
The schism might sound a blessing to the other opponents who are also organizing themselves by putting their house in order.
The bell is yet to rung but groupings is taking place, when time shall reach the warriors will be seen and the losers will be seen, but upto now, it is still early to predict and to campaign.
