It is daring for Azimio to push a narrative that Baba does not need Central to win the August presidential election. As I have said before, Raila Odinga and William Ruto must get running mates from Mount Kenya to win this election. It is no longer about a running mate who will bring votes to either of the two—it’s about the political principality that is the Mount Kenya region.
Supposedly, Azimio’s dismissive narrative comes from yielding politicians and strategists who aren’t ready to burn the midnight oil to get an effective response to some apparent messages from wananchi.
