Raila will get 65% Mt Kenya votes - Ground imeongea

A lobby from the Mt Kenya region has said the residents from the grassroots are now supporting ODM leader Raila Odinga’s presidential bid.

Ushindi Kenya lobby said Raila will garner 65 per cent of the region’s votes.

Led by their chairman Alfred Wanyoike, the group said the tides have changed in the region and the majority of residents who were supporting UDA party are now for Raila.

“We did civic education to ensure Mt Kenya understands the objectives, philosophy and ideals of Azimio. Residents are now aware of the benefits they will reap from Raila’s presidency,” Wanyoike said.

He said the group which has recruited grassroots leaders has been crisscrossing the 11 counties in the region popularising Raila and has managed to water down the political gains UDA has been enjoying in the region.

“This is why UDA is actively campaigning in Mt Kenya because they have realised getting the region’s votes will not be a bed of roses. The competition is very tight,” the chairman said.

Mt Kenya Matatu Owners Association chairman Rufus Kariuki who is part of the Ushindi Kenya team said the transport sector players in the region will play a key role in campaigning for Raila.

“We will start having Raila’s posters in our public service vehicles as one way of popularising him. We will have our people in different termini across the region who will be actively campaigning for him,” Kariuki said.

He said key players in the transport sector in the region are confident the sector will grow immensely and reap massive benefits under Raila’s presidency.

The group’s vice chairman James Kariuki said the region is now confident that Raila will complete all development projects that have been initiated in the region by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“Our people are farmers and business people. We have been assured that key farming sectors will be revived and boosted and that his government will create a conducive environment and favourable policies for our businesses to thrive. We trust he will complete all Uhuru’s legacy projects,” Karuri said.

The group said it’s out to water down DP Ruto’s gains in the region and ensure that Raila garners more votes on August 9.

  1. Where you were: Mt Kenya can’t leave Uhuru in favor of Ruto

  2. Where you are: Mt Kenya had left Uhuru for Ruto, but they are coming back

  3. Where you will be in After elections: Mt. Kenya votes were stolen and stuffed into Ruto’s ballots:)

Mimi Niko Sendro ndani kabisa SAA hii nakwambia ni ngori. Hawa watu wamerogwa na Ruto. Hata 0.5% sioni Jakom akipata. Especially with the prevailing economic hardships.

Raila should strategize minus the Mt. Kenya vote. Uhuru failed to transition his base from Ruto to Raila

Ndugu yangu ulitoka Zanzibar lini? I remember in a thread juzi you stated uko Zanzibari for 2 weeks on a business trip

Regions loyalty will be determined by deputy president’s post. Forget all other drama. Even before 2017 elections there was this anti uhuru to fever but all mount kenya votes went with uhuru. He was their man.

Because they were voting against RAO

So it wasn’t so much a ‘one-of-us’ situation, but more of a ‘anyone-but-RAO’ situation…

No comment Wadau.

Likes only.

Naona una meria mata wishing to comment. Just do it.

Just because it was their leader. thats how masses are like. You remember when kalonzo was running mate he went with 100 percent kamba votes and same story with ruto and the kalenjin vote. in fact, people like kalonzo have marshalled their tribal following by going for deputy president and presidential seats. if ruto decides to go with mudavadi and raila with karua kiti iko azimio. there is nothing mudavadi brings that he never gave to raila. if raila choses kalonzo instead karua that presidential seat is lost for him. people are tribal all over the world usiwahi ambiwa ati its an african problem. its howhumans are like.

Game bado wadau

Wacha nirushe likes for now Mdau.

You misses what I said…

The antiRAOism in Central is stronger than tribal affiliation.

People opted to Marshall behind the member of another tribe who was not with RAO than to stay with their own tribesmen because he joined RAO.

I don’t think you understand the depths of AntiODINGAism in Mt Kenya.

There is nothing that can make Mt Kenya marshall behind RAO…

Absolutely nothing…

They abandoned a sitting President because of RAO…

They can’t join RAO because of a deputy president

Uko ndani wapi? Nimekutana na mtu anasema ground is gradually shifting in favour of Tinga in Nyeri, but Mimi am in Kiambu najua iko Sawa kabisa.

:D:D:D:D
Yaani ati the Mountain left UHURU because of TINGA, but it will go to TINGA because of UHURU???

When is the deadline for presidential candidates to pick their VP ?
