The Kenyan DAILY POSTPolitics02:00

Sunday June 22, 2012- Prime Minister Raila Odinga received a major boost on Saturday, after a group of Luhya professionals unveiled an elaborate vote hunting strategy for the Premier that will mainly focus on the Western Province to ensure that he occupies State House next year.

The professionals launched a new group lobby group dubbed Western for Reforms (Wefor) in Kakamega town and said that they would use it to campaign for the Prime Minister in the region.

The group attacked Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi saying that he did not have the required credentials to be a president that would take the country through the transition period.

Through their spokesman Joseph Simekha, the lobby said they will ensure that Raila Odinga ascends to presidency in the upcoming polls.

“Our deliberate choice of a presidential candidate is Raila because he fits out bill of values,” Simekha said.

They also said they will ensure that the controversial book by Miguna MigunaPeeling Back the Mask does not harm the Premier’s popularity in Luhya land.
