The 2013 elections were won by what many believed to be tyranny of numbers that favored President Uhuru Kenyatta. However, political analyst Barrack Muluka has revealed that the current numbers favor NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
“The Jubilee strongholds such as Elgeyo Marakwet, Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Nakuru, Kericho, Bomet, Murang'a, Kiambu, Nyeri, Nyandarua, Embu, Meru, West Pokot and Laikipia have about 7.4 million registered voters. In the NASA zones including Kakamega, Trans Nzoia, Bungoma, Busia, Vihiga, Kisumu, Siaya, Migori, Homa Bay, Kisii, Nyamira, Turkana, Lamu, Mombasa, Taita Taveta, Kwale, Kilifi, Makueni, Machakos and Kitui we are talking of 8.2 million votes. The remaining battleground counties, including Nairobi, have about 4 million votes,” Muluka published in the Star.
Muluka said Jubilee will have to work harder to win. He advices Uhuru to sweep the whole country including where he neglected in 2013. The analyst says that Odinga has the numbers in the Tuesday State House battle.
“Last time we were told the Jubilee regions had more registered voters than the Cord zones. This time we have the reverse. If NASA voters turn out in big numbers or huge percentages to vote, then he will go home. Forget about what the pollsters have been giving us. Their scientific figures have been in question and the truth of the matter is the tyranny of numbers favours NASA,” he wrote.
