The rebellion and murmurs among some Kamba politicians in regards to the National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential line-up could cost the alliance victory in the August 8 polls, a political analyst has said.
According to Peter Ngure, a Kiambu based political analyst, the murmurs in Ukambani cannot be taken seriously.
The analyst says that NASA presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga has to move with speed and thwart any rebellion in Ukambani if he still wants the region votes.
He says that NASA cannot afford to lose the Ukambani votes at this time.
“NASA should be careful on how it handles the murmurs among Ukambani politicians in regards to its presidential line or risk losing the followers to Jubilee,” he said.
He added, “Raila and Kalonzo must move to the ground and assure their supporters in Ukambani that everything is fine."
The analyst said that Kambas could easily be wooed to Jubilee since Kalonzo didn’t make it as flag bearer.
He said that Kamba rebels are likely to put up a spirited campaign against NASA in the August 8 polls.
On Friday cracks emerged in NASA after a section of Kamba MPs claimed that they got a raw deal in the agreement.
Kitui West MP Francis Nyenze and Senator David Musila said that Kambas are not going to play second fiddles again.
The MPs called for an urgent meeting saying that have not been informed on key aspects of the agreement.
NASA deputy flag bearer Kalonzo Musyoka has however dismissed the MPs concerns instead urging them to support the NASA line up which he says will unseat Jubilee government in August.
