National Super Alliance (NASA) move to hold its first rally in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s backyard was a strategic plan that should send a warning to the ruling Jubilee ahead of the August 8 polls, a political analyst has said.
According to Peter Ngure, a Kiambu-based analyst and commentator, NASA’s Nakuru rally on Sunday should worry Jubilee.
“NASA’s decision to stage its first campaign meeting after unveiling flag bearer in Uhuru’s backyard is a strategic plan and indicator to Jubilee that things are not the same as they were in 2013,” he said.
Ngure notes that despite being a cosmopolitan county, Nakuru is considered as a Jubilee stronghold.
He observes that NASA’s Sunday rally in Nakuru will define the alliance mood and preparation to take on Jubilee government in the August 8 general election.
Ngure said the Nakuru trip will also be used to welcome Rift Valley locals into the alliance.
