Top
Jubilee Coalition leaders are in a fresh plot to raid Cord’s political bedrock
and strongholds in move analysts say is to neutralize the growing influence Cord
has across the country.
Jubilee’s
think-tank has been working on a counter-plan to take Cord head on and top on
their agenda is to make high-profile visits and rallies to the areas perceived
to be Cord’s strongholds.
According
to those behind this new power game, counties marked as Cord’s strongholds are
Kisumu, Siaya, Homa Bay, Migori, Kisii, Nyamira, Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, Tana
River, Lamu, Kitui, Machakos, Makueni, Kakamega, Busia, Bungoma, Vihiga and
Nairobi. Others are Garissa, Kajiado, Mandera, Marsabit, Narok, Taita Taveta,
Wajir and West Pokot.
Sources
say, the plan is to have local leaders organize high profile rallies to be
addressed by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto among other
top Jubilee politicians. According to the plan, the rallies top agenda will be to
counter Cord’s popularity and push for a national referendum.
Politically
speaking, the regions the Jubilee plans to visit have remained loyal to Cord
leaders Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula. Analysts say it will
be a toll order for jubilee to penetrate these regions since more than one year
after elections, the regions have remained loyal to the opposition.
