Before he decamped to Jubilee, the vocal Jubilee point man Anthony Kibagendi, who was also a former MP aspirant in Kitutu Chache North constituency promised to fund NASA Chief Raila Odinga campaigns in Kisii.
Speaking in an event in Kisii on 2017, he promised to boost Raila by sacrificing his materials to ensure that his presidential bid was made more popular within the region.
This was after he had made many inroads in the region and due to political tension that had overwhelmed the ODM aspirants, Kibagendi promised to harmonise the youths of the region and ensure NASA was the song of the day.
"Time is now ripe for us to make sacrifices in order to realise Raila’s victory. I have offered to take charge of Kisii campaigns. I will mobilise youths to take registration serious to increase the numbers.” Kibagendi said.
"I am going to officially launch Odinga’s campaign, through roadshows before assembling in Gusii stadium for a mega rally,” Kibagendi added.
However, Kibagendi who was a fierce Jubilee critic, decamped NASA on grounds of the botched ODM nominations that made him lose the ODM ticket to Richard Onyonka.
He, therefore, deviated to Jubilee whereby he faced other aspirants in the elections through the Jubilee ticket.
