A section of sitting and former MPs have officially rolled out campaigns for Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga.

The leaders, who were initially in Jubilee, have launched campaigns to popularise the Nasa manifesto.

They include former allies to Deputy President William Ruto of Jubilee.

Led by former Ruto ally and JP director who was also URP Chief Executive Officer David Koech, the leaders said they would change the political narrative in the region to ensure NASA triumphs in the August polls.

"It is only in the agenda of NASA manifesto that challenges facing farmers in the North Rift and other issues facing the ordinary Kenyans will be addressed. Our opponents in JP have dismissed this manifesto, yet it comes with solutions faced by citizens at the grassroots level," said Koech, who is also a former Mosop MP, as reported by The Standard.

Other leaders backing Raila’s bid are: MP for Chesumei Elijah Lagat, former Kenyan Ambassador to Australia and MP for Emgwen Stephen Tarus, former Cabinet Minister John Cheruiyot (Aldai), former MPs Joseph Misoi (Eldoret South), David Sudi (Marakwet West), Jesse Maiz (Eldoret South), Francis Mutwol (Marakwet West), ODM devolution secretary Kipkorir Menjo, Songok and Isaac Letting.
