A section of aspirants allied to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) have cried foul over the opinion poll conducted to determine the most popular amongst them. Urbanus Muthama Ngengele was declared the winner in the poll and is set to be handed the ticket.

According to one of the three aspirants who spoke to Mauvoo News on condition of anonymity, they started suspecting foul play when Urbanus Muthama flagged by Mwala MP and Machakos Town MP met Deputy President William Ruto separately a day after all the other aspirants met Ruto.

According to another aspirant, they agreed on a scientific opinion poll but they were surprised to see Mwala MP Eng Vincent Musyoka Musau bragging about the outcome early this week revealing that he was going to ensure Urbanus Muthama got the ticket come what may. Below is a screenshot of chats by the Mwala MP in a Whatsapp group – Mwala leaders forum handed to us by one of the aspirants.

The aspirants concerns were that the MP should not have taken sides but should have waited for the aspirant who would have emerged the winner. In another conversation, the MP said he would pull his last cards on the Machakos Senatorial race on Thursday ( 14th January).

Another female aspirant revealed how they were surprised to hear some local radio stations declaring Urbanus Muthama as the winner Wednesday while even none of the aspirants had gotten to know the results.

“As early as Wednesday, I was surprised to hear 2 local radio stations declaring Urbanus Muthama as the winner. None of us knew the results. How did the media get access to the poll results? There is something not adding up here.” She questioned.

“Some of us were not even in the poll yet we had declared interest in the seat. Why would our names be left out?” She added.

Concerns were also raised on how the sampling frame was reached. The aspirants revealed to Mauvoo News that they had not been told of the research methodology.

The runners-up former Machakos Deputy Governor Bernard Kiala has since conceded and supported Urbanus Muthama but the majority of the other aspirants have remained silent.

A section of Ukambani politicians from Machakos County allied to Deputy President William Ruto have sworn to wipe out Wiper Party from the Ukambani region and it’s leader Stephen Kalonzo.

Led by Former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama who had hosted different leaders, aspirants, and Professionals at his home in Mua, Machakos County, he said that come 2022 he will have a party that will sponsor all candidates from the President to MCAs.

“Come 2022, I will have a party that will sponsor all candidates from the President to the MCAs. Let him(Kalonzo) go his way and I pursue mine and see who will win the 2022 elections,” said the former senator.

Former Masinga MP Itwiku Mbai echoed Muthama’s sentiments saying that Kalonzo had failed to establish a strong political leadership for the Ukambani region given that he terms himself as the de facto Ukambani Kingpin.

” As a community, we need a new wave into leadership because it is useless for people to profess love for Kalonzo when he himself cannot offer desired leadership to the community, ” he said.

Chama cha Uzalendo Organising Secretary Davies Musau went ahead and proposed for the formation of a political command center to remove the wiper Party from its dominance in the region.

“The political command Centre will be expected to bring new life to Ukambani politics and liberation to our people from the fruitless loyalty to Wiper,” he said.

During the meeting, Muthama brought in Businessmen Mwaya Kitavi and Donald Mwendwa from Kathiani Subcounty to oust Wiper organizing secretary Robert Mbui who has been in the parliamentary position since 2013.

Sources close to the former Senator said he would be having similar meetings with aspirants from Makueni and Kitui county as he seeks to stamp his political authority in the entire region.

For Matungulu, Subcounty Thomas Musau vowed to oust Stephen Mule who is a staunch supporter of the former vice president while in Yatta the KNUT leader Kasimba Ngui was ready to take over from Charles Kilonzo.

Former Machakos Deputy Governor Bernard Kiala, Machakos Town MP Victor Munyaka, Mwala MP Vincent Musyoka, and Kitui East MP Nimrod Mbai were also present in the meeting.

We all need to address this problem, Corona or no Corona. Data below.” The Governor through a Tweet said.

“Clearly, the problem of teenage pregnancies is a national problem. As the data below from the Kenya Health Information Systems in the National Government’s ministry of Health shows, Nikubaya – more so in some counties than others. Lazima tutatue hii shida pamoja. He added.
