Kitui gubernatorial hopeful and seasoned Ukambani politician Charity Ngilu has now claimed that it is almost impossible to campaign for the ruling Jubilee Party in the region.
Speaking on Tuesday, the former Lands Cabinet Secretary further castigated Kitui West MP Francis Nyenze and Senator David Musila for campaigning for the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta in Ukambani, accusing the duo of betraying the aspirations of the people of Ukambani.
The lawmakers publicly endorsed the re-election of President Kenyatta last weekend.
They have, however, since denied the claims, maintaining that they are in support of NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
“Musila and Nyenze should be told plainly. You cannot be political traitors at home by going against a bedrock voting pattern. The voters will whip both of you out at the ballot," Ngilu stated.
She called on the locals to rally behind Raila Odinga and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka who are seeking the presidency under the NASA ticket.
