Webuye businesswoman Tina Mwangale has
launched vigorous campaigns for the President so he "wins by a landslide" should the election take place on October 26.
Tina, the daughter of the
late Foreign Affairs minister Elijah Mwangale, has been selling Jubilee Party's manifesto and agenda to residents, most of whom are youths.
She has also been drumming up support for President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto on social media and local media channels in Bungoma's nine constituencies.
Uhuru is expected to face NASA leader Raila Odinga on that date. But Raila and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) have withdrawn from the election and demanded a fresh process.

Tina
is leading team 'Ready' which has caps, T-shirts, scarves, wristbands and flyers that are distributed to the people.
Speaking to The Star in Webuye town on Thursday, the campaigner said it's high time youths took over leadership and power and let old guards retire peacefully.
Tina ditched ODM, led by NASA chief Raila, before the August 8 election and says Uhuru has clearly shown he cares for Bukusus.
He deserves another term to carry on with his good development track record, he said.
"We have seen Uhuru revive Rai Paper where two phases are now operational and close to 2,000 people work," she said.
"We have seen him give us a charter for Kibabii University, making it grow with him as its first chancellor," she said.
Tina added Uhuru's administration has seen roads constructed across the county and their "pathetic" condition improved.
She further said the President has
equipped medical facilities such as Bungoma County Referral Hospital and Webuye sub-county hospital, so patients no longer have to travel to the Moi Teaching
and Referral facility in Eldoret.
"We have seen how our people, even those living in grass-thatched houses, provided with electricity and clean drinking water for the first time," she added.
Tina also praised First Lady Margaret Kenyatta for Beyond Zero mobile clinics that have benefited people including pregnant women.
She also cited appointments for
Bungoma leaders including Mukhisa Kituyi, former trade minister Musikari Kombo, former Bumula MP Bifwoli Wakoli and Senate speaker Kenneth Lusaka who was Governor.

She added: "I will soon announce the position I will vie for in 2022.
