As the National Super Alliance (NASA) pitch tent for two days in Meru and Tharaka-Nithi county from Friday to Saturday in quest for votes, Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi has revealed the kind of welcome the coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga should expect.
Murungi said, Raila is treated as a tourist together with his team whenever they visit.
“Mr Odinga has visited this County many times, but he doesn’t get substantial votes here. When he comes, treat him as a tourist," said Kiraitu. "He can visit our rivers, mountains and the miraa farms to chew some twigs. Meru votes are preserved for President Uhuru Kenyatta,” he added.
He said Meru County is one of the strongest Jubilee strongholds that the opposition could not penetrate.
The NASA team is expected to rally support in Chuka town, at Chuka University, in Marima, Chogoria, Magutuni, Kathwana, Tunyai and Kibunga in Tharaka-Nithi and later in Nkubu, Meru town, Mikinduri, Maua and Laare in Meru County.
