ANC party leader Musalia Mudavadi receives Western region's elders for a consultative meeting at his Mululu home in Sabatia constituency. [Benjamin Sakwa, Standard]Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi's presidential bid yesterday got a boost when Western Kenya Council of Elders backed him for the top seat. In a move to consolidate his support in his Western Kenya stronghold as he seeks a stab at the presidency in 2022, Mudavadi met leaders from the region and pleaded with them to rally behind him. He said Western region must change the narrative of being a region where every Tom, Dick and Harry comes to scoop votes. “I want to send you to ask my brothers to walk with me through this journey,” Mudavadi told the elders without mentioning names.
