[Former Parliament Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim. He told Kenyans to maintain peace ahead of August] (the-star.co.ke)Former Parliament Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim has told Kenyans to remain united ahead of the August elections.
Maalim, who is eyeing the Garissa Township parliamentary seat said contrary to claims, the five NASA principals will part ways, Raila Odinga (ODM), Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper), Musalia Mudavadi (ANC), Moses Wetangula (Ford Kenya) and Isaac Ruto (CCM) have remained united signaling victory on August 8.
“Change is here with us,” he said on Thursday in Garissa town.
“They said our principals will not remain united. Their prayers have not been answered. Let’s remain united,” he said.
Odinga was recently named NASA presidential flag bearer with Musyoka as his running mate.
Mudavadi, in case NASA takes over government will take up the position of Premier Cabinet Secretary while Mr Wetangula and Mr Ruto will deputize him.
The unveiling of the lineup calmed anxiety among opposition supporters who were uneasy to know who will fly the coalition’s presidential flag and take on President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto during the fourth coming general election.
