President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto will not get votes from Garissa constituencies, Balambala MP Abdikadir Aden has said.
Aden said Garissa especially his constituency is strongly in the National Super Alliance (NASA).
He was speaking during a rally in Sankuri division. The politician said that the Somali community has lost many members since Jubilee took over leadership of the region, adding that the Uhuru and Ruto do not deserve re-election.
He said that the community will not be quick to forget how its members died under unclear circumstances since the current regime took over leadership of the nation.
“We have not forgotten how they bundled our people in Lorries and took them to the Safaricom Stadium Kasarani in the disguise of fighting terrorism,” Aden said.
He also said that endless trips of Jubilee leaders to the region will not change the political situation, adding that the leaders will not find it easy convincing residents to make a u turn.
“Jubilee leaders can make as many trips to this region as they want, but I can assure them that no amount of enticing will convince our people to vote for the party because they know where their hearts are,” he added.
Aden has an uphill task to defend his post as Jubilee’s Abdi Shurie seeks to dethrone him from power.
