Raila Trails President Uhuru in New Opinion Poll

If the election was to be conducted today, President Uhuru Kenyatta would still trounce National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga, but a run-off would be inevitable.
In a new opinion by the Star, Jubilee’s Uhuru Kenyatta would bag 48 percent of the total votes cast while his closest rival, Raila Odinga would manage 39 percent.
A similar poll conducted in May this year placed Uhuru at 49 percent, while Raila was at 40 percent.
The percentage of undecided voters’ increased by two per cent from 10 per cent in May, to 12 per cent in June.
59 percent of those interviewed said they would vote for President Uhuru owing to his development record, while 15 percent preferred Raila’s development agenda.
33 percent of the respondents have confidence that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission will conduct a free, fair and credible election, while 7 percent do not trust the Electoral Commission.
The poll indicates that both Uhuru and Raila have made significant inroads in each other's strongholds.
While Raila has infiltrated Bomet and Meru counties, which religiously voted for President Uhuru in the 2013 contest, scoring 20 percent and 32 percent, respectively, President Uhuru on the other hand, has eaten into the opposition’s traditional vote basket of Bungoma, Kitui, Kilifi, Busia and Machakos, scoring significant percentage compared to what he got in the 2013 general elections.
Uhuru’s Bungoma popularity now stands at 38 percent, 42 percent in Kilifi County, 33 percent in Kalonzo Musyoka’s Kitui backyard, 23 percent in Busia and 30 percent in Machakos.
The poll by the Star was conducted in 28 counties picked from the former seven provinces and was done through Computer Aided Telephone Interview where 3,430 respondents over 18 years old were interviewed. The poll has a 1.7 percent margin of error and a 95 percent confidence level.

I keep saying that UHURUTO's support is actually going to grow in the month of July.When Kenyans look around their neighborhood. They see chaos in Somalia.They see civil war in south sudan. The memories of the civil wars in Uganda and Rwanda are still fresh.Nobody wants chaos.Everybody wants Peace.Everybody wants Civil Order.I mean every development goal and progress goal for the country and the region is dependent on that very precious PEACE.Kenyans know in their gut that they cannot trust Raila with the ship of state.His personal political history is tainted by a bloody and insatiable greed for power.Many families in Kenya have lostloved ones because of this mans greed for power.NO.NO.NO.Kenyans will not vote for Raila. The opposition can take that to the bank .UHURUTO, having been working soo hard to maintain the Peace.They have been working soo hard to put out all the fires of chaos that Raila has been setting ablaze.The country knows that UHURUTO are the responsible bunch.They are the ones that can maintain this very valuable peace in the country.Therefore, even more Kenyans will continue to be attracted to them.Vote Jubilee and UHURUTO.

Re-electing Uhuru and Ruto is a direct attempt of continuing with the following failed policies of Uhuru & Ruto legacy of administration:
1. Nepotism. at the moment my Gikuyu brothers and sisters occupy 70% of the key positions in a nation with distinct 63 micro-nations. Where did I get 63? The newly added Makonde nation and 18 from the fake "Luyia" creation of the British. The so called Luyia has 18 distinct micro-nations. For example if a member of the Bukusu meets a member of the Logooli (maragoli) group, they have to communicate in Kiswahili or in the English language.
2. Corruption: They have perfected the art of corruption to such an extent that it if you add all what Kamau, Toroitich and Mwai combined corruption cases, they beat the three former presidents. Uhuru himself has admitted that he is totally incapable of taming and eliminating this national embarrassment.
3. Bribery: With advances in technology, the police are still soliciting funds on the Kenya roads. A committed president would wipe out this road menace in one day.
4. Insecurity: You are no longer sure whether you will safely reach your intended destination because of the high level of insecurity.
5. Filth: Both Uhuru and Ruto lack the incentive to promote national cleanliness throughout the republic. If they stopped using helicopters, they might see how our country has become filthy since they took over.
6. Greed: The two are so greedy that they have already spent billions of shillings building their castles when the poor Kenyan is sleeping in cardboard houses and not sure where the next meal is going to come from.
7. We the people should demand that all African leaders go in for only one term like the one set by the late hero of South African liberation, Ndugu Madiba Mandela. It is called, "Madiba Mandela presidential legacy of serving the people for only one term."
Uhuru and Ruto, you have finished your one term. It is time to move on. What you were not able to finish will be completed by Raila. He has promised the people of Kenya to be the first Kenyan president to serve only one term.

The opposition leaders certainly do not have a better track record on the above issues.In fact some have been the de facto leaders of Kibera for example for the last 20 years.What have they done for the people of kibera for example?At least Jubilee is doing really good on the development agenda as well as making progress with the aforementioned issues.I say stick with UHURUTO. We will all be better off for it.

Since you insist on using the word micro nations which is also fake how about the Kalenjin the mijikenda the Taita taveta the Kuria the pokots. All this people would like to rule Kenya one day but their small numbers and the fact that they are considered one tribe even if they do not understand each other is neither here nor there..You also assume that power hungry Raila will rule for only 5 years as if the opposition is guaranteed of another victory in 5 years if they miraculously win in August one month away which is highly unlikely.

The use of the word micro-nation is in remembrance of our hero of the second liberation and again the first Kenyan and first African woman to win the Nobel prize Dada Wangari Mathaai. She is the one who coined this word.
You are right @citizen, we need to involve anthropologists and linguists to redefine all the Kenyan micro-nations again.
Raila is the one who said that he will be in power for only one term like Ndugu Madiba Mandela. We will hold him accountable and responsible for promising the people of Kenya that he will be the first Kenyan/African president to adhere to Mandela's presidential legacy of being in power for only one term!

Madiba Mandela new presidential legacy: " Serve for on term only and leave other nationals to continue your legacy as presidents of the country."
Uhuru you have your SGR as your legacy plus massive corruption and your inability to make Kenya safe through numerous Al Shabaab attacks as your legacy. Move on and leave your legacy elsewhere.
Mwai had his Thika - Nairobi highway as his legacy, free primary education, total freedom of speech and the press, plus the unfortunate loss of many innocent lives after the 2007 vote rigging as his legacies.
Toroitich had is Golden berg financial scandal, Nyayo House torture chambers, the killing of Ouko, plus the total collapse of the national infrastructures as his legacy.
Kamau was the founding father of nepotism, corruption, ruling the country through intimidation, fear, imprisonment without trial, and the beginning of political assassinations ( Pinto, Mboya, Kariuki, Ngala, etc) as his legacy.
Let us remember Matiba, Rubia, Anyona, Wamwere, Shikuku, Raila, Wangari Mathaai, Micere wa Mugo, Orengo, many university lectures, and many more others who were able to rise up during the second Kenya liberation and booted out Ndugu Toroitich.
Had it not been for these heroes, Kenya would be looking like Haiti now and Uhuru would never had made it to the Kenyan presidency in his life time. Thank you again all our heroes of the second liberation.

After reading the Nation newspaper of today about the massive corruption in the building of the SGR by our Chinese brothers and sisters, it's time to make sure that Jubilee Alliance political party is asked to retire from politics come August, 2017.
Jubilee should change their name to " The Corrupt Alliance Party of Kenya." Tough love is when you confront someone dear and close to you and tell them the truth. If you sincerely love Kenya, please ask the leaders of the " Corrupt Alliance Party of Kenya " to step down!
Could someone brave and courageous ask Ndugu Chirchir Samoei Arap Ruto where he got the money to build his house in Eldoret which he paid over one billion shillings to his Chinese friends to build? What about the helicopter that he bought!
If you sincerely love Kenya, ask Uhuru and his deputy to stop campaigning and start gathering their belongings and return to their newly built palaces for good come August 8, 2017.

Ndugu Ojinga (Wagwiitu):
I don't mean to insult anyone when I constantly honor Ndugu Madiba Mandela for spending 27 years in jail and serving only one - five year term in office and letting someone else continue with the leadership of the nation. Uhuru was a minister of local affairs, deputy prime minister, and now president. What more time does he need in order to finish what?
Ndugu Madiba was not a minister, or a deputy anything and he accomplished a lot in South Africa. When I was there, I found out that he is respected all over the nation. See what Ndugu Zuma has done by remaining in power longer than his first term! He is a joke of everybody in South Africa. Look at Comrades Mugabe and Museveni! they are nothing but a joke and a shame to the entire continent of Africa.
Kenya does not have any shortage of capable leaders who can steer the nation in the right direction. Anybody with a minimum of high school education is capable of contributing immensely in the future positive developments of Kenya as a president including YOU!
Raila has said quite repeatedly than he is going to be the first Kenyan president to serve for only one term and step down. Let us give him a chance to see what he can do for our nation.
Some of my Gikuyu friends have sworn not to be ruled by a "kihii." What about the other global "ihii" all over the world who are currently interacting with the Gikuyu people. Who built the Nairobi/Thika Highway? The "ihii"s from China. What about the SGR? The same Ihii"s from the same place - China. Who colonoized Kenya? The "ihii"s from the United Kingdom. I therefore plead to my Gikuyu brothers and sisters to stop using double standards when it come to issues to do with "irua!"
