Can a Presidential Debate Influence a Voter’s Decision?

Most countries if not all are turning to presidential debates days or weeks ahead of a General election. They claim it is an opportunity to help the citizens get a better picture of the candidates, hence being being able to make the right decision during the voting day.

In these debates, the panelists prepare a list of questions for the candidates, especially about their past leadership experiences and their manifestos, sometimes to a point of crucifying them for the wrongs they have either done or been accused to have committed.

It is voluntary for a candidate to attend a debate, so at times some choose not to attend for either personal reasons, or even claims that the playing ground is not favorable for every player.

On a level ground or not, whether one attends or not, whether you are pushed to the corner by the panelists or you push them, the big question is, can a debate influence a voter’s decision? Does the audience come with an open mind or do they come only support their already preferred candidate?

Deputy presidential debate 2022, Kenya

For the first time in the political season, Deputy president William Ruto’s running mate Rigathi Gachagua nailed it and proven his capacity as a wort running mate during the deputy presidential candidate debate that happened on Tue, 19th June 2022 at the Catholic University of East Africa.

In his crafted answers to the questions asked by the panelists, he described how he and his principle will deal with state capture and corruption in their leadership, a thing that has revealed why and how Kenyans got themselves in the suffering and tribulations of the high cost of living and unemployment.

Many people have since changed their mind and choosen to follow the bottom up economy manifesto which Gachagua and his principle are spearheading in their Kenya Kwanza alliance headed by the UDA party.

Kenya goes into the elections in less than 18 days.

We wish Kenyans the best as they go into the ballot, and would like to remind them that peace is the only thing that Kenya needs above all others.

World stammering awareness day

As we celebrate the world stammering awareness day today, Oct 22 2021, may we seek to know more about this condition, the causes, the remedy, and how to live with people who live with the condition in our society.

Some of these ways to deal with these people includes but not limited to showing love to them, giving them time to communicate without interuption, giving them equal opportunities as others, and understanging their different needs even before they ask for them.

Have a blessed World Stammering Awareness Day

World stammering / stuttering awareness day

International Stammering Awareness Day (ISAD) happens on 22nd October every year. Stammering associations, individuals and groups around the world organise events to mark the day and to raise awareness of stuttering.

Someone once said, “stammering can feel quite like an online buffering
worth the wait. Musharaf Ashgar stammers but it doesn’t matter much. Why? Because what he says is more important than how he says it.” Do you agree?

There are many ways you can celebrate people with stammering/stuttering. From sharing information about this day or their experiences, to supporting such people if they live within your community.

Today you will have many chances to learn more about stammerung and stuttering and to talk about it. Won’t you do it?
