    "content": "These regulations have to be looked at. There are days when we had the monopoly of one party. I remember it was KANU. If you were interested in any political position but the KANU mandarins did not like you, even if you were liked by the masses, you would not get it. During the era of mlolongo voting, you could have the longest queue of supporters behind you but if the party leadership did not like you, your long queue would be swapped with your rival’s short queue and your rival would be declared the winner. Those days are gone. However, if we look at our political situation today, if you are not in the Jubilee Party or NASA, even if you are a political party which has fulfilled all the requirements of a political party, to the extent of ganging up with five other political parties, you will still have no funds. This means in the near future, you either perish or join one of the big parties. Are we going back to the KANU era? We need to look at the rules afresh."
