Tuesday October 16,2012 - Luhya Council of elders have sensationally claimed that Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi was duped by Uhuru Kenyatta into defecting from ODM hoping to benefit incase Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto were barred by the ICC cases.
Led by Former Cabinet Minister Burudi Nabwera, the elders said those who promised to back Mr Mudavadi if he ditched ODM were still firmly in the race with only a few months to the elections.
Nabwera said they have unanimously agreed to back Prime Minister Raila Odinga as he is the only Presidential aspirant with a national appeal.
He said Mr Mudavadi disregarded their advice not to quit ODM, saying many Luhya MPs have deserted him.
“Mudavadi is even forced to hire Isukuti dancers to welcome him and keep him company whenever he tours other parts of the country. He is supposed to be welcome and cheered by people from those areas,” he said.
Nabwera who was former President Moi’s stalwart urged the Luhya community to vote for leaders who would bring change.
“We want to support someone who can bring change and ensure our community is part of government,” he said.
“And the only presidential aspirant who can bring change to our community is Prime Minister Raila Odinga” he added.
