President Uhuru Kenyatta will win the August 8, elections in round one with 70 plus one votes, Parliament Majority leader Aden Duale has said.
The Garsissa Town MP stated that there are many factors that keep President Uhuru Kenyatta ahead of NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga in the race to State House.
First, Duale said the election is going to be issues-based and on that front the Jubilee administration has the upper hand owing to the massive development projects they have implemented over the last four-and-a-half years.
"Our opponents have no scorecard, they conduct their campaigns based on a litany of propaganda, lies and ethnic politics. Jubilee presents the Face of Kenya and that is why in NASA’s power-sharing scheme there is neither a Muslim, nor a pastoralist," said Duale.
"We will premise our campaigns on what we did in healthcare, free maternity, the opening of 92 referral hospitals and the equipping of county hospitals with modern equipment," he added.
Jubilee also brought you the examinations fee waiver, the standard gauge railway and over 12,000km of tarmac road – 6,000kmcompleted and 6000km under construction," added Duale.
The second factor according to Duale is that Jubilee has the strongest voting bloc which boost of massive tyranny of numbers compared to NASA strongholds.
"Our strongholds of Rift Valley and Mount Kenya are intact and we have registered more voters than ever before. The coastal regions, the counties of Wajir, Garissa, Mandera, Marsabit and Samburu have tilted to Jubilee and NASA should forget them because they don’t even have candidates in those areas," siad Duale.
In Wajir and Mandera, they have only a skeletal presence, some two or three aspirants. At the Coast, we have made in-roads with much success, as we shall win Taita Taveta, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River and Lamu," he added.
"Go to Western, we will win the Bukusu areas of Bungoma and Trans Nzoia. We will win in parts of Kakamega, the Mumias areaand Busia. In Kisii, we are now doing 60 per cent against their 40 per cent. All the crowds you see in NASA rallies are of imported people from Kisumu andelsewhere, where supporters follow their leaders like groupies by road," said Duale.
Duale further promised the electorate that if Uhuru is reelected from January 2018 Kenyans will live better decent lives.
