National Super Alliance NASA has been told not expect any votes from Meru, despite huge crowds attending the outfits rallies.
Meru Senator Kiraitu Murungi has downplayed Nasa’s influence in Meru stating that the region is and will remain a Jubilee stronghold.
Mr Murungi said Nasa is always welcome to campaign in the region but warned that they would only manage to get 0.1 per cent of the votes.
“Every time Nasa leaders come to Meru they have been attracting large crowds but this cannot translate into votes. We are not in any way worried by the Nasa leaders’ reception. Meru is a Jubilee stronghold and Mr Kenyatta will get 99.9 per cent of the votes,” Mr Murungi said.
Murungi who is eyeing the Meru gubernatorial seat on a Jubilee ticket said that the crowds were there for entertainment.
“No matter how many times they come to campaign in Meru, they will not dent the Jubilee votes during the August election. I dare them to compare their crowds with President Kenyatta’s when he visits this week,” he said.
