Aspirants take advantage of Raila silence to woo his political base
Youths from Nyanza region, who support Deputy President William Ruto, during a meeting at Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi’s home in Uasin Gishu County on August 01, 2020.
Mr Ruto had made several trips to the Gusii region but not in Luo Nyanza.
Jubilee Deputy Secretary General Caleb Kositany told the Sunday Nation that the DP will crisscross the entire country to hunt for votes.
The uncertainty on whether ODM leader Raila Odinga will be on the ballot in 2022 is attracting other presidential contenders to chip away at his Nyanza support base.
Mr Odinga has competed in every election since 1997, except in 2002 when he endorsed retired president Mwai Kibaki. However, as he has kept his supporters guessing – insisting it was not time to talk about 2022 – some of his prospective opponents are making attempts to lure voters from his Nyanza base.
