Raila met the leaders from the Maasai community barely a day after a section of elders met President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House. Cord chief Raila Odinga, who has been keen on neutralising politicians' visits to State House, met Maa community leaders on Wednesday. He promised the State House meeting on Tuesday an "exciting" future come the August 8, 2017 general election. When Uhuru met the Maa community , some leaders from Narok and Laikipia announced that they were ready to join Jubilee Party . Uhuru hosted 87 MCAs from Kisii and Nyamira counties at State House in a bid to penetrate opposition strongholds.
