AHMEDNASIR reveals why RAILA ODINGA’s ODM bolted out of the Nairobi gubernatorial by-election race

Thursday, December 31, 2020 – Renowned Nairobi lawyer, Ahmednasir Abdullahi, has revealed the reason why the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party pulled out of the Nairobi gubernatorial by-election race.

ODM chairman, John Mbadi, on Wednesday said the Raila Odinga-led party will not present a candidate but will endorse the one nominated by President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party.

Mbadi, who is also the Minority Leader in the National Assembly, said ODM will back Jubilee in the spirit of the handshake, noting the impeached governor Mike Sonko belonged to the ruling party.

Commenting on social media after ODM made the announcement, Ahmednasir said the Orange party bolted out of the Nairobi race to avoid another defeat as witnessed in the Msambweni by-election.

During the Msambweni mini- poll early this month, ODM candidate Omar Boga was defeated by Independent candidate, Feisal Bader.

“STUNNING that ODM isn’t contesting the vacant Nairobi Governor seat…STUNNING! Obviously, Msambweni has traumatised the party,” Ahmednasir wrote on his Twitter page.

RUTO in shock as churches in Rift Valley ban him from the pulpit and reject his Harambees – Keep the blood money to yourself

Sunday, February 28, 2021  – Deputy President William Ruto will have to find another avenue to dump his ‘loot’ after churches in Rift Valley banned him from conducting harambees in churches. In a statement, the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) North Rift region banned politics and fundraising activities in churches until further notice. This follows the NCCK meeting held in Eldoret at the weekend which recommended that politicians will never be allowed to address the church unless it’s a special spiritual message to the congregants. The clerics also accused some politicians of using church platforms to attack their enemies whenever they are given a chance to address the congregation. “The regional committee of the NCCK North Rift has assembled here in Eldoret to share some grievances.” “We are very much concerned about the insecurity of the country and from what we have witnessed a few months ago from our leaders, we want to make it clear that we don’t want politi...

RUTO is the next president like it or not – See the number of MPs that he controls in Parliament that has made UHURU look like a joker?

Sunday, September 26, 2021  – Deputy President William Ruto has boasted that his political vehicle, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, has the highest number of MPs in the country.  Speaking in Kitui County during the launch of an empowerment program for women groups from Kitui West at Kabati, Kitui County, Ruto said his party has 150 Members of Parliament affiliated to it.  The DP, who was popularizing his political vehicle ahead of the August 2022 presidential race, defended UDA from tribal leaning, stating that his political party has members from across the country.  “As we speak, and your MP Nimrod Mbai can confirm, UDA has 150 members in Parliament from across the country,” Ruto said.  The DP further rooted for UDA, saying it’s the only political party that has achieved the national inclusivity threshold followed by Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). “I’m not saying that the other political parties are bad.” “All I’m saying is...
