Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has warned the Jubilee administration to stop thinking that it still has a firm grip on Central Kenya region.
The vocal senator said the Monday incident in Meru County where supporters of Governor Peter Munya and Senator Kiraitu Murungi clashed, was a pointer to a change of mind among Central region residents.
The two rival groups hurled chairs at each other during the celebrations held at Meru Technical Training Institute and attended by more than 3,000 residents.
And now Senator Khalwale who spoke on NTV’s AMLive show Tuesday holds a different view.
“Jubilee thinks just because Meru people voted them in 2013 that they will vote again 100 per cent Jubilee next year. What you see on the ground is a sign that there is a percentage that does not subscribe to Jubilee politics,” he said.
“I have seen the people of Meru before going against the politics of Central Kenya,” he added.
Khalwale also noted that Munya’s PNU party had gained ground in the region and will not be surprised if its wins a majority of elective seats.
“I will not be surprised if in 2017 PNU wins the most elective seats in Mount Kenya area,” he noted.
