Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama has been tasked to ensure the opposition wins most of the seats in Nairobi County.
Muthama has been placed in charge of the opposition’s capital campaigns, starting with the gubernatorial seat.
“I have been charged with overseeing the Nairobi campaigns and I want to assure voters that being an enemy of the Jubilee administration, I will make sure no vote is lost come August 8,” said Muthama.
He was speaking during a rally at the City Stadium on Wednesday, where he led Governor Evans Kidero and his deputy, Jonathan Mueke, to a meeting with members from the Kamba community.
Muthama, who spoke mostly in Kikamba, he emphasised that under his leadership, he would ensure that Wiper secured three parliamentary seats and 20 MCA slots in three constituencies namely, Lang’ata, Kamukunji, and Embakasi South.
Muthama also sought to clarify that he had not broken ranks with Kalonzo Musyoka, adding that he respects him and will support his 2022 presidential ambitions.
“There is no way I can betray Kalonzo. We are inseparable and the day he leaves NASA we will leave together,” he said.
“I am not stupid to bring down the wall that I have spent years building,” he added.
He further accused President Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto of creating a rift between him and Kalonzo, asking them to concentrate on their campaigns.
