President Uhuru Kenyatta’s October 17th Presidential bid has received a boost after more leaders drawn from Western Kenya threw their weight behind his re-election.
In meeting held at State House Nairobi, on Tuesday, several politicians who were hitherto in Nasa defected to the Jubilee Party and declared their support for Uhuru in the repeat poll.
Former Vihiga governor Moses Akaranga and Bungoma Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) gubernatorial candidate Alfred Khangati said they will be backing the President, as he face Nasa’s Raila Odinga in the fresh election ordered by the apex court.
Former presidential candidate Cyrus Jirongo, as was former Cabinet minister Chris Okemo, who clinched the Nambale parliamentary seat on a Labour Party of Kenya ticket also threw their weight behind Uhuru.
“Everybody who matters in the Mulembe nation was at State House today. We are telling Raila that the donkey is tired of being in the Opposition, we will all go out there and campaign for President Kenyatta to secure majority votes in the our Luhya counties of Kakamega, Bungoma, Busia and Vihiga,” Khang’ati said.
Nairobi businessman Babetuu Amutavi who unsuccessfully contested the Shinyalu MP seat said the leaders had agreed to campaign aggressively for President Kenyatta’s re-election in the region that is widely an opposition stronghold.
“We will start President Uhuru’s campaigns in western on Thursday, it is all systems go, we will leave nothing to chance,” Amutavi said.
Former Cabinet ministers Fred Gumo and Musikari Kombo, and former National Assembly Speaker Kenneth Marende were also present in the meeting.
The delegation of western Kenya leaders was led by Water Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa and Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka.
President Uhuru Kenyatta welcomed the support from the western leaders, saying it indicated Jubilee’s popularity across the country.
Busia County independent governor contender Paul Otuoma also pledged to support President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election bid set for next month.
Declaring his support for Uhuru, Otuoma accused ODM and NASA leader Raila Odinga of favoritism in the party and alliance.

An Open and sincere Letter…
An Open and sincere Letter to Raila:
As long as dictator Kipkorios Toroitich Arap Moi is still alive, you will not be elected president in Kenya. We all know that Toroitich is afraid of you especially knowing that he tortured your family while he put you in jail for 8 years! He is scared that you might retaliate and treat him worse than he treated you. We all know that Biwott killed Ouko and Toroitich did not do anything about it!
That is why he picked Uhuru from who knows where and groomed him to continue protecting the loot that he stole with uhuru’s father. The dictator (Toroitich) is a billionaire in US dollars. He will never let you become the president of Kenya. As far as we all know, he is till ruling Kenya through his sycophant and robot Uhuru.
Raila, Toroitich will not forgive you because had it not been for you and other second liberators of Kenya, He (Toroitich) would still be in power like Mugabe of Zimbabwe and Museveni of Uganda. He will make sure that as long he lives, you will NEVER be the president of Kenya. You and other liberators of Kenya, will always remain our dear heroes. We are enjoying the freedom in Kenya that we could not have if Toroitich was still in power.
Congratulations (Raila) for liberating our nation that made it possible for Kenya to have a new and progressive constitution.
