Honour is important
When politicians agree on a set agenda with clear rules of engagement, whatever the outcome, the decision should be upheld, especially if the parties participate.
Nothing is do or die. Rules should not be changed when it does NOT favour individuals

And the most important questions are:
Did candidates pull out before the votes are tallied or after? If after, it means they participated and so were bound by the rules;
If the voting outcome were reversed 4:3 and FD lost, how would we have felt/reacted if FD backed out??

When aspirants dropped from 19/18 to 13...why didn't those who felt it was no longer a consensus/no longer comfortable with the process, all back out like Sowore did?
I guess I am saying processes matter.
Constitutionally, yes, everyone can still run...but, lots to learn here..

Politics need commitment. We need to build up bases/new parties/structures. We need to avoid helicopter approaches.
Already all members of the alternative didn't emerge through rigorous party primaries. They may still need some schooling on democracy/building alliances/letting go

Again, sometimes, you yield to win. Imagine if rules were abided by, 100% support given to FD; all the goodwill garnered and banked for 2023; continue engaging with public between 2019 until 2023 to build a solid base and party?
Sometimes, you yield today, and harvest tomorrow..

The most important lesson for me from all of these? ALL of us need to get involved. The quality of candidates at all tiers is dependent on our participation. No longer just about getting PVCs but a critical mass of competent people must run in ALL parties. Let's influence within.
Lots to learn and unlearn today.
The journey continues.
There are no saints in this arena. We choose from the available options and run with it.
We become more circumspect. And realize that in the end, we are really the ones we're waiting for
No one will do this work for us
