Bomet County Governor Isaac Rutto has drummed up support for NASA coalition and asked Kalenjin community to ditch Jubilee party, due to 'false' promises made in 2013.
The CCM party leader urged the community to support NASA in August 8 election.
He accused president Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto of abandoning the community and failing to fulfill 2013 pledges.
"We have shifted base to Raila Odinga's camp because of unfulfilled promises and high-handedness of the ruling elite," said Rutto.
"They have only resurfaced now because they want to be re-elected. They are in a panic mode due to the mass exodus of voters,"he added.
He argued that Jubilee leaders only go to the region for political supremacy battles, not to launch mega projects.
He apologized to the community for leading campaigns for Uhuru and Ruto in 2013.
"The Jubilee administration should be sent home with immediate effect because they have failed Kenyans. Let us back the NASA team which will save Kenyans from the bondage of poverty," he said.
He was speaking at Narok West when CCM MP aspirant Gabriel Tongoyo launched his campaign at Lekanga, Narok county.
