Tuesday December 18, 2012 - Prime Minister Raila Odinga manipulated the recent opinion poll conducted by Ipsos Synovate group which indicated that he can trounce his political rivals if elections were to be held today, DAILY POST can now report.
Five MPS on Monday protested saying the PM’s Campaign Secretariat is using all methods possible to hoodwink Kenyans that they are still ahead of their rivals.
MPs Aden Duale, Justus Kizito, Kazungu Kambi, Ferdinand Waititu and URP chairman Francis ole Kaparo said Raila Odinga is driving Kenya to another round of post-election violence by manipulating opinion polls to make Kenyans believe he will win the March 4 elections.
The lawmakers said the opinion poll released by Synovate last Friday is not true. The poll indicated that Raila and Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka's CORD will trounce Uhuru and Ruto.
The poll indicated that a Raila-Kalonzo ticket would garn 47 percent against Uhuru Ruto ticket would garn 41 percent.
“We should stop lying to people about what is not there. If you don't have supporters, you don't have them,” Kaparo said.
“We should stop lying to people about what is not there. If you don't have supporters, you don't have them,” Kaparo said.
Duale, who is also the Dujis MP, asked Raila to prepare his supporters for a defeat to avoid chaos after the elections because “he is fond of refusing to accept defeat”.
“Kenyans are not ready to be cheated into another round of post-election violence and should be left to make their own choices,” Duale said.
“The National Cohesion and Integration Commission should closely monitor activities of the pollsters. What they are doing is a perfect recipe for post-poll chaos.” Duale added.
