Mandera County Jubilee Party leaders have urged county residents living in Nairobi who registered as voters in Mandera County go back and vote during election as they plot to sweep the county clean on the August 8 elections.
The leaders known as ‘Team Justice’, led by Governor Ali Roba addressing Mandera residents living in Nairobi at the Nyayo Basketball Court on Sunday said they stand for peace and unity.
They exuded confidence that Jubilee party will win most of the seats in Northeastern region.
“We urge all the Mandera people who are here to confirm their registration details, and if you are voting in Mandera, please plan early and travel back. We want to win clean and we cannot do so without you,” Roba said.
Roba criticized opponents and elders for preaching violence with the aim to divide residents ahead of the election.
“Your vote is your right; please ensure you vote ... Elders cannot dish out leadership positions like food,” Roba said.
“If you know that you are going to be in office for only one term, do you think you will work for the people?” he asked.
Roba claimed that their opponents in the Economic Forum Party, led by Senator Billow Kerrow, have sensed defeat and are now making divisive and inciting utterances.
“We want to send the EFP team home very early in the morning on August 8. From the MCA to the President; we want Jubilee,” said the governor.
