Labour Party of Kenya leader Ababu Namwamba has explaind why the outfit will be backing the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta in August.
According to Namwamba, President Uhuru's development record in different regions of the country have earned his support during the polls.
He cited the initiative by President Uhuru to build a bridge across River Nzoia.
"I can now confidently walk in Budalang'i and tell my constituents that Uhuru has listened to their concerns and addressed them," Ababu said during an interview on Citizen TV.
"We are witnesses to the President’s services and demeanor…he came to Budalang'i and condoled with the families of those who died after a boat capsized and promised the bridge which he has delivered."
Ababu, who was once Opposition leader Raila Odinga's shining star, said his people have every reason to support the President.
"If that is not performance, tell me what performance is," he added.
Ababu last year quit opposition party ODM where he was the secretary general.
The Budalang'i lawmaker cited frustrations from the party management as one the reasons he jumped ship.
