Lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi has launched on attack on Raila Odinga’s supporters ahead of the repeat presidential election slated for October 26.

In a Twitter post on Saturday, Ahmednassir pointed out that if Raila’s supporters spent some time campaigning for  the NASA leader, he would manage to get 40% in the fresh poll.

“Confident that if Baba's supporters spent just 30% of time wasted on Twitter campaigning for him, Baba will score 40% on 26/10,” stated Ahmednassir.

In a move intended to raffle feathers of the National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders, the popular lawyer also known as the Grand Mullah, tagged Suna East MP Junet Mohammed in his post.

The vocal Opposition legislator responded with a rough tackle indicating that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s supporters should stop abusing Raila if they want him to get 32.5% in the forthcoming showdown.

“Confident also if your clients stop abusing baba they will move to 32.5%,” Junet posted.

The Grand Mullah went ahead to urge the Suna East MP to ditch NASA and join the Jubilee Party to gain in the 2022 General Election.

 

The Constitution states that to be declared President, a candidate must garner 50 per cent plus-one vote of the total votes cast and secure at least 25 per cent of the votes cast in half of the counties.

According to official figures released by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Uhuru secured 54.27 percent of the ballots cast, while the former Prime Minister got 44.74 percent in the August 8 General Election.
