The opposition National Super Alliance will do everything within its disposal to ensure Parliament Majority Leader Aden Duale loses his parliamentary seat.
Garissa Township MP hopeful Nassir Dolal (ODM) said majority of the voters in the constituency support the opposition, telling Duale to begin preparing to stay in the political cold for the next five years.
The race for the constituency MP seat has attracted attention going by the political weight of the aspirants salivating for it.
Former Parliament Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim (Wiper Party), Dolal and Duale are all racing for the post.
There has been talk on social media that Dolal could step down for Maalim since they come from one clan.
It is also clear that Dolal’s stepping down for Maalim will give the opposition an upper hand since the move will give Maalim all opposition votes.
“Our resolve remains that after August 8 we have a new MP for Garissa Township,” Dolal said while campaigning in the constituency.
“It doesn’t matter what formula we shall use.”
Duale won against Dolal in 2013 with a narrow margin.
Dolal is ODM party leader Raila Odinga’s close ally.
