Ndile says that Kambas don’t need Kalonzo’s advice to decide on whom to vote for.In an interview with the Standard, Ndile asked Kalonzo and NASA to forget about Ukambani votes.He said that Ukambani is in Jubilee and will overwhelmingly endorse President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election bid.“Kalonzo and NASA should back off Ukambani because the region is solidly behind Jubilee’s re-election,” he said as quoted by the Standard.Ndile at the same time criticized Kalonzo’s party for condemning Kitui West MP Francis Nyenze for praising Jubilee development track record.The Mavoko Parliamentary seat hopeful said that Nyenze was right to campaign for Jubilee saying that Uhuru’s administration has done well to be praised.NASA and Jubilee are jostling for Ukambani votes in the August 8 polls.A section of Kamba rebel MPs has put on a spirited campaign for UhuRuto assuring the Jubilee government of full Kamba votes in the August 8 polls.The opposition, on the other hand, says that Ukambani is its stronghold and vowed to harvest all the votes in the coming August 8 general election.Political analysts, however, warn that NASA could lose out on the Kamba votes following the alleged infighting and rifts within Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper Party.
