Speaking on Citizen TV Tuesday, the lawmaker said that both of the frontrunners for the Presidential race,Raila Odinga of the National Super Alliance and Jubilee's President Uhuru Kenyatta are keen on registering a win on the date,each for his own reasons.
''Its a do or die for both Raila and Uhuru.Uhuru wants to ensure that he is not the first one-term president while Raila, on the other hand, seeks to ensure that he suceeds in this race because it is probably his last shot at the post,'' said Kaluma.
He however maintained that whatever the case and however hard the Jubilee fraternity work in their campaigns, they will not suceed on beating the former Premier whom he said is set for a big win after the exercise.
According to Kaluma, Jubilee has misused its time in the government and a huge section of Kenyans out to ensure that Kenyatta and his team are replaced with Odinga's team.
''The Jubilee team is set to lose because it has failed to deliver.The President and his people have the burden of incumbency.They have been in power for the last 4 years but have been unable to adress most of the very important issues facing Kenyans,'' he said.
