Constitutional lawyer and Advocate of the High Court Charles Kanjama has cautioned President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto against under-rating National Super Alliance (NASA's) presidential lineup that was unveiled on Thursday.
Kanjama says that Jubilee cannot afford to write off or dismiss the Raila Odinga-Kalonzo Musyoka line up ahead of the August 8 polls.
The lawyer says that it will be a disaster for Jubilee if its leaders underrate NASA’s ability to win the August 8 polls.
Speaking on citizen TV on Thursday, Kanjama said that Raila-Kalonzo lineup has the potential of sending Jubilee home.
“Jubilee should be cautious of NASA’s presidential lineup because it can pull a shocker on them in August,” he said during the interview on Citizen.
The lawyer said that Jubilee won the 2013 general narrowly and cannot boast of more numbers than NASA. He said that both Jubilee and NASA have almost equal numbers adding that the winner of the August 8 elections will be decided basing on voter turnout in each camp's strongholds.
Kanjama added that NASA is keen to avoid the 2013 mistakes that made it lose the election and that it will put in place every mechanism to send Jubilee packing.
On Thursday NASA unveiled Raila Odinga as its flag bearer with Kalonzo Musyoka as deputy.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy have however laughed off the NASA line up. Uhuru and Ruto on Thursday criticised the Raila-Kalonzo line saying they will thrash it as they did in 2013 general election.
