Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has claimed that former vice president Musalia Mudavadi and Mombasa governor Hassan Joho are ‘parasites’ sucking the blood of ODM leader Raila Odinga. Mr Ngunyi, who famously came up with the ‘tyranny of numbers’ theory in the 2013 general election that correctly predicted the outcome of the presidential race, said that Mudavadi and Joho had each failed to rally the Western and Coast regions to register two million people as new voters. In a YouTube video, the controversial analyst said the just-ended mass voter registration exercise did not yield much for the opposition. According to Ngunyi, NASA strongholds managed to have 814,792 people register as new voters while Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee party registered 898,762 voters. “According to the IEBC figures, Mudavadi was exposed as a parasite and Joho as a man whose gift is nothing but running his mouth,” the video message says. “Without Raila, NASA is nothing,” another analyst from ‘Fort Hall School of Government says. Ngunyi adds that the Raila and Kalonzo can force a runoff in the presidential election.
