"There is a big probability of going into a run-off if there are three strong candidates like Raila, Ruto and Musalia," he said. In the 2017 polls, Mt Kenya counties including Nakuru had over five million votes, while Raila's Nyanza backyard had around 2.3 million votes. Kalonzo's three Ukambani counties had a total of 1.3 million votes, with the region voting almost to a man for Nasa. "The DP would have lost if he loses even half of Mt Kenya votes," ex-Githunguri MP Njoroge Baiya said. Nyandarua Woman Representative Faith Gitau said that all the DP's strongholds, including the vote-rich Mt Kenya, are intact.
