Yesterday Mutahi Ngunyi came out with a post that will not please most of his NASA supporters.  In a Twitter post on Tuesday, Mr. Ngunyi said that Raila’s NRM was a failed plan and is just a guerrilla movement. The controversial analyst likened NRM to the famous Uganda’s Lord’s Resistance Army, a guerrilla group that formerly operated in Uganda under the leadership of Joseph Kony. He also pointed out that the movement has similarities with Sierra Leone’s rebel group, Revolutionary United Front that was led by Foday Sankoh. Ngunyi added that telecoms operator Safaricom should freeze the former Prime Minister’s number.He said:

“RAILA Resistance Movement is Dead on ARRIVAL. Safaricom SHOULD begin by freezing Raila’s Number.”

Raila had on Tuesday announced the establishment of peoples’ assembly, a broad-based forum to discuss issues affecting Kenyans. The people’s assembly will be a forum of elected leaders, members of the civil society and religious leaders who will be discussing issues affecting Kenyans and pass resolutions that can be debated in county assemblies.

He said it was time for his movement to begin the essential task of making elections count and democracy work in Kenya. democracy, and institutions. He said the Supreme Court of Kenya did not question the numbers he garnered in the August 8 Election but the process of declaring them, adding that by getting 7.5 million votes, his supporters had re-validated his mandate.

Out of 266 constituencies that submitted results, Uhuru got 7,483,895 votes. This was only 719,395 votes less of the 8,203,290 votes he got on August 8. Here is Mr. Ngunyi’s Twitter post:
