Battle for numbers: How Jubilee outplayed NASA in its own game

President Uhuru  with his Deputy Ruto display their certificates at Bomas of Kenya.

When NASA coined up the Luhya phraseology, ‘Vindu Vichenjaga’ (things have changed), they meant the political tide had changed in their favour. For a while, the massive turnouts at NASA rallies seemed to suggest so.

But come August 8, ‘Abandu Bachenjire’. The voters changed tune and shifted their voting loyalties. Jubilee strategists turned inside out the NASA narrative that Jubilee didn’t have any votes in Western Kenya, Kisii, Nyamira, Migori, Ukambani, Maasailand and Coast. That NASA could garner one million votes from Rift Valley.
