The CORD Coalition has unveiled their deadly line-up, which will see Amani leader Musalia Mudavadi becoming the Presidential candidate and Raila Odinga Prime Minister.
In the line-up, Kalonzo Musyoka, who has shed off water melon tag, will become the Deputy President while Baringo Senator Gideon Moi will become the Deputy Prime Minister.
The coalition also includes Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho as the Deputy Prime Minister and Martha Karua among the coalition’s powerful individuals.
Raila Odinga has opted for the position of Prime Minister which NASA will create once they take power from the unpopular Jubilee administration.
Odinga’s intention is to see Jubilee in opposition come next year, which is possible if he fails to contest for president. The former Prime Minister is convinced that Mudavadi, who has support across the country, is the best man to beat a scandalous government. By rallying his supporters behind Mudavadi, the opposition leader believes Mudavadi will garner at least 5.5 million votes, which is needed to win the presidency.
The most exciting thing about this new coalition dubbed NASA is the entry of Isaac Rutto and Gideon Moi,who are believed to have some 500,000 supporters from Rift Valley.Mudavadi,being the coalition flag bearer needs not more than 500,000 votes from Jubilee support base to win the seat. Gideon and Isaac may guarantee the votes.
