Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga will be left homeless if Kibra constituency is taken away from him, political analyst Ambrose Weda has said.
Speaking on Monday morning during a morning talk show dubbed Morning Express on KTN News, Weda said that Kibra is like Raila’s home since he has represented it for a long time.
The analyst says that despite Raila’s native home being Bondo, his real political home is Kibra.
His remark comes a day after various aspirants in the forthcoming mini polls stormed Kibra on Sunday to launch their manifesto.
Jubilee Candidate McDonald Mariga, Ford Kenya candidate Khamisi Butichi, ANC’s Eliud Owalo and ODM’s Imran Okoth were in different parts of the constituency to woo voters.
While Mariga, Owalo and Butichi held rallies in different locations, Imran resolved to doing door to door campaigns after attending several church services in the region.
However, out of the three rallies, Mariga is believed to have had a huge crowd, which has been seen as a bigger threat to Raila’s ODM, an incident Kenyans say is an upper hand for Mariga.
Deputy President William Ruto has already expressed confidence that the Jubilee party will triumph in the coming Kibra Constituency By-elections scheduled for November 7th.
Ruto said that already, the Jubilee administration has transformed Kibra through the construction of roads and toilets, which he said had not been done for several years, despite the leadership of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
