NASA flag bearer Raila Odinga has split his Western tour campaigners into two teams that will visit many locations over a period of four days.
This appears to be a strategy to outdo President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto, who camped last week in the Opposition bedrock with their brigade.
The President asked Luhyas to stop wasting time in the Opposition as NASA can never beat Jubilee but NASA officials told him he will not get the region's support.
