In his quest to spread his message to the mountaintops, ODM leader Raila Odinga is knitting a circle of governors from the Mt Kenya region; a team of former foes turned allies.
He has already won over seven of them – Kiraitu Murungi (Meru), Francis Kimemia (Nyandarua), Lee Kinyanjui (Nakuru), Ndiritu Muriithi (Laikipia), Martin Wambora (Embu), Muthomi Njuki (Tharaka Nithi) and James Nyoro (Kiambu) – who act as the Atlas holding Raila’s dreams of winning in Mt Kenya in place.
