A section of leaders from Western Kenya have promised more votes for Jubilee in the coming presidential election.
Paul Otuoma, Alfred Khang’ati, Moses Akaranga and Yusuf Chanzu have vowed to double the votes President Uhuru got in the August 8 election.
“I want to tell Raila that the minimum votes we will deliver to Uhuru is double what he (Uhuru) got in August,” said Otuoma. “If we will not manage that, then Raila should come for a bull,” Otuoma said, as quoted by The Standard.
Otuoma lost to ODM’s Sospeter Ojaamong in the Busia governor race.Former Budalang’i MP Ababu Namwamba vowed to ensure NASA is locked out of Busia county.
Khang’ati, who lost the Bungoma governorship to Ford Kenya’s Wycliffe Wangamati, said he would ensure Uhuru gets more votes from the county.
“I was at the forefront in Raila’s campaigns but he took my support for granted and instead frustrated me. I am going to be at the forefront again to ensure he loses votes in the county,” said Khang’ati.
Akaranga, Chanzu and former speaker Kenneth Marende affirmed they will ensure Uhuru gets five times the votes he got in Vihiga County.
