NAIROBI—National Super Alliance (Nasa) are holding a rally today in vihiga lead by presidential candidate Raila Odinga ,his co-principal Musalia Mudavadi, Senator George Khaniri and a host of MPs.

Mr. Odinga will be accompanied by Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala, Woman Rep Beatrice Adagala and Sabatia MP Alfred Agoi.

The Nasa team will first attend the funeral of Mr Khaniri’s sister in Serem before heading for a roadshow in Shamakhoko, Majengo and a rally at Mumboha stadium in Luanda town.

Tomorrow the opposition leaders are to attend a church service at  ACK Mumias and address a rally at Mumias town before heading to Malaba and finally holding a major rally at Busia stadium in what is seen as a move to counter Jubilee’s onslaught in the region.

President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto on Thursday to Saturday held a series of rallies in Vihiga, Kakamega, Busia and Bungoma counties where they met about 20,000 delegates.

They addressed the western region as a one of the battleground zones and have invested there heavily, showering it with a ‘gifts’ of roads, industries and public job appointments.

This investment appears to have borne fruit with the party bagging a number of National Assembly seats in Bungoma and Kakamega in the last election as they hope to gather more presidential votes come October 26th 2017 repeat poll.
