So Veronica Maina and her team have decided to test waters in Kiambu.
From my study of Kiambu politics , they are very political people , unlike other Mt Kenya Counties  , Kiambu when it comes to Mp posts they vote differently from Presidential posts. Only Railas onslaught made them to start adhearing to the 3 suit voting. Well apart from the anti Moi voting of 1992 where even the likes of Muite in Odingas party Ford Kenya made it through. In 1997 a substantial number of MPs went in through Ngilus party SDP , In 2002 a substantial number of MPs went in through KANU same with 2007.
How the Veronicas miss this point is beyond imagination.
Or is it the pressure of getting a UDA MP?

Moses Kuria refused to play ball - with PEP - hoping to have PEP do a coalition agreement with UDA of some sort - while UDA wants to play directly in Central.

Will Moses Kuria field a PEP candidate - we shall see.

He said he is fielding Raymond Kuria. What UDA should have done is simply do what Uhuru did with Kiunjuri and Munya silence him politely.
Incase UDA loses against Moses Kuria do you know what that would mean. Worse if they both lose against Jubilee ?

You saw the tactics deployed by Govt after Msambweni polls in Kabuchai and Matungu polls . Sometimes its better to be strategic than tactical. Personally dont think Ruto has sanctioned this. We will wait and see.

Moses Kuria unveiled his own - Raymond Kuria.

Tuju will interview and unveil their last nomination possibly..if kiambaa falls..they can as well resign immediately.

Koinange family already unveiled their own :)

Let see - eventually one of them has to pull out - and support the other. Ruto will have to step in - and reconcile both camps.
