NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 29 – Democracy for the Citizens Party presidential candidate Rigathi Gachagua has defended the importance of voter mobilisation, saying the ability to rally supporters is essential for anyone seeking to become Kenya’s next president.
Speaking on KTN, Gachagua argued that presidential leadership cannot be attained through appointment, insisting that candidates must convince voters to support them at the ballot.
“I heard another fellow, I think from Jubilee, saying that we have many candidates. Some are very good at mobilisation. Very good. They can mobilise votes, but they are not electable. Meanwhile, there are others who are not good at mobilising votes but can turn this country around.”
