Martha come from Kirinyanga;
If any traction was to happen; it would start from there;
I would expect now that she has quit the race; Ngirici would be happy to join Azimio with her; first to get Martha supporters who wanted her for governor;
And secondly to align with new Azimio traction.
And dont sweat this - this just one of the indicators. We have crowds. We have seen Martha heckled or now just left to her own thing. We have opinion polls.
We have social media.
In short to read the mood of the ground WE HAVE MANY TOOLS.
So far the only MAJOR MOVE IN AZIMIO POST-MARTHA has BEEN KIRAITU - who has embraced Martha and Raila after initially taking a hidding.
And we know he is desperate for Peter Munya support.
So yes in Meru we can say Martha and Munya have found some tractions - whether they can sustain it - is doubtful
Kiraitu and Munya need to work together
to deliver 30 percent to Azimio
Blinkers. How come Ngirici is so savvy to be the barometer - and still left wildly popular UDA? Long before Karua she went independent - despite your very loud protests, advices & criticisms - yaani mlimtupia tantrums calling her DOA - but she said vote me governor and WHOEVER for PORK.
To follow your logic that says ground is not UDA.
Second: she is leading against UDA candidate since Karua.
My point: Ngirici is better barometer for UDA LOSS of traction. At best what I see is ground is slippery 50-50. There is no UDA suit nor such pressure to save wishy-washy Waiguru - Azimio in fact has the momentum.
Yes I have been watching Ngirici moves to know if Martha will get traction or not.
She is good barometer to know the political weather of Kirinyanga.
Aside from initial congratulation message - she has steered clear of Martha and Kibicho misadventure.
That tell you Martha has no ground.
She is a good indicator for measuring ground support of Martha....if Martha get support of Kirinyanga...Ngirici will support her bid..for now Martha has been rejected at home.
Kirinyaga is UDA zone, when UDA old people and unpolled folks come out, Ngirici will lose by 4-10 percentage votes. Ngirici is more UDA than Anne, but she messed up by going independent or Kirinyaga Kwanza ticket!. Even her is campaigning for Ruto, not Raila. The moment she touch Raila, her base will evaporate almost instantaneously.
