Business Interest - The Kenyan Counties That Brokered Political Wins for Top Contestants.

It’s almost a done business and most Kenyans have moved on with their lives which is quite commendable. With that said, one cannot help but wonder which counties made or broke the two horses Raila and Uhuru in one of the heated presidential race to ever happen in Kenya.

Raila and the president Elect Uhuru Kenyatta, will forever be greatful for his strongholds which were led by Nairobi county,a  victory shared by both. Raila did remarkably well in the Coast region but surprisingly enough none of the counties made it to the top list of his strongholds due to low
number of voters registered.

Some of the counties that were not backing Uhuru’s bid were, Homabay, Siaya, Vihiga, Kisumu, Busia among others. Raila may have lost a breath or two when the results of Nyandarua, Kirinyaga, Mandera, Nyeri, Tharaka Nithi, Muranga, Bomet among other counties were announced.

1.    Kiambu- 705,185,
2.    Nairobi-659,490,
3.    Nakuru-494,239,

The CORD  presidential candidate already has a petition case in court challenging the presidential results. We are yet to see the outcome of the case as the country seems to have moved on as if nothing is happening. In case of a re-run , Uhuru’s team will have to convince Raila’s strong hold to back them up while Raila will have to do the same in Uhuru’s stronghold which are mainly in Cental and Riftvalley.
