(Photo Source:http://www.nation.co.ke)Matungulu MP Stephen Mutinda Mule has rubbished claims that Ukambani region will vote for President Uhuru Kenyatta in the August 8 general election.
According to the MP, Jubilee will not get a single vote in Ukambani.
Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the Wiper National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Nairobi on Tuesday, Mule said that Ukambani is in opposition and not Jubilee.
The MP indicated that Uhuru’s government has done nothing for Ukambani to make locals vote for him in August.
“Those claiming that Ukambani will vote for Jubilee in August are dreaming and should stop spreading malicious speculations that Kambas will vote for Uhuru,” he said as quoted by Daily Nation.
The Matungulu legislator said that Kambas will cast their votes where Kalonzo is. “As Kambas we will not be swayed or confused by cheap propaganda being spread by rebels,” he added.
Mule urged Kambas to vote for NASA saying that the Alliance has the interests of Kenyans at heart.
He hit out at President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee administration accusing it of failing to deliver development pledges it made to Kenyans in 2013.
A section of rebel MPs who ditched Kalonzo’s party last year has been claiming that Ukambani is no longer an opposition stronghold and that the region will vote for President Kenyatta in August.
