The National Super Alliance (NASA) which is the main opposition coalition facing the ruling coalition Jubilee has of late flustered the government. The government zealots prior to the naming of Nasa flag bearer said if Raila Odinga is nominated the flag bearer, Jubilee will not struggle to campaign. That it will be a field day for them. I dare them to go to Dubai for Ferrari Rally and come back after the elections if Raila is a walk over!
That narrative has since changed and the ground seem to be shifting so fast. Even the president and his Deputy are spending sleepless nights to counter the Raila cum Nasa influence in their backyards.
