Kanu has kicked off a quiet campaign to revitalise its grassroots support, even as a top official remained upbeat a pre-2022 political alliance would soon crystallise. There have been talks of a possible pre-2022 alliance with opposition leader Raila Odinga and the Jubilee faction allied to President Uhuru Kenyatta. The former Bomet MP said Kanu has already kicked off a process to bring on board influential political heavyweights to boost its foothold at the grassroots. “Some regions are looking at filling vacant positions but we intend to have grassroots soldiers that count for the party,” he said. This is even as Kanu backers from President Kenyatta's Mt Kenya region picked a caucus to spearhead the party's grassroots revitalisation campaigns in the area.
