Lakini chini ya maji, yumo mbioni kujiandaa kwa uchaguzi huo kivyake. Wadadisi wasema huenda huo ni mkakati wa kujikweza kisiasa na kujiweka katika nafasi nzuri ya kukabidhiwa tikiti ya muungano wa upinzani.

However, a potentially united opposition commands a comfortable 57pc of voter support, an advantage that remains purely mathematical unless the leaders settle on a single presidential candidate.
