The battle for the National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential ticket has intensified but lieutenants of some candidates are failing their masters. One major outfit letting down their preferred aspirants is Wiper Democratic Movement party.
As they talk more, Joho, Junnet and Midowo among others are on the battle field fighting for someone who already has millions of followers, Raila Odinga. Former VP’s party and local politicians have betrayed him either knowingly or unknowingly.
Most Ukambani politicians are affiliated to Wiper but they are putting in little effort to ensure that Kalonzo Musyoka becomes Kenya’s 5th president. The endless press conference that Wiper is holding to compel NASA and former CORD to support Kalonzo is the easiest way of rubber stamping perceived and real Musyoka’s weaknesses against Odinga and Mudavadi.
Wiper should go out and market Kalonzo in Western where Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula rule. They should have a date with Nyanza voters to urge them to back Musyoka. Gatundu and Eldoret should feel the heat of the former Vice President.
Politicians who want a Kalonzo presidency have to copy what Raila maniacs do. Those who love Raila go to the streets to be shot to push for Odinga’s will. Some strip naked, others like Joho risk their lives by being pro-Raila day and night while a number break their banks to fund Raila.
