Jubilee candidate for Kitui gubernatorial seat David Musilahas asked residents to elect leaders based on their development record, not parties.
Musila, who on Wednesday took his gubernatorial campaigns to the Thagicu district in the Mwingi North sub-county, said parties do not deliver as that is the mandate of those elected into office.
Addressing the residents of the area who are largely the Tharaka sub-tribe, Musila cautioned the people of Kitui at large against being influenced by political parties' euphoria to vote for non-performers in the August 9 polls.
Musila who is a former Kitui senator addressed campaign rallies at Nthangani, Ciampiu, Kanyengya and Katoroni trading centres.
He asked locals not to be convinced to blindly vote for the dominant Wiper party candidates.
“You have for years voted for Wiper candidates but have they been able to solve your problems? I am saying that although I belong to Jubilee vote for me as your governor on account of my past track record,” said Musila.
“You will not go to Wiper party headquarters to ask for service or development projects but you will seek the same from the good leaders you will elect regardless of whichever political party they belong to.”
Musila, the pioneer national chairman of the Wiper Party led by Kalonzo Musyoka, said since he left the party, it has lost its mojo.
He asked the locals not to bank any hopes on the Wiper party and its leadership.
He said only individuals who had demonstrable quality leadership will help county residents to bring desired changes.
