The Kenya Kwanza brigade claimed to have strategized on different aspects as a way of mitigating cases that would polarize the effectiveness of the incoming General elections.
Kenya Kwanza team believes that they will form the next government after the August 9 election,
They called upon their opponents to start drawing their mentality into the opposition box.

The Kenya Kwanza Presidential Candidate William Ruto has appeared enthusiastically on the concept of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) having almost a million registered names missing in their register.
Ruto however spells out clearly that the plan is set to undermine his political ambitions of winning the presidential seat in the August 9 poll.
Following the European Union (EU) meeting held at Ruto’s residence in Karen, the Deputy President cited that IEBC might have a secret plan of depriving him of an opportunity to showcase his ability in politics.
“We expect everybody who is concerned with the election processes and preparation more so the EU and partners to try and get as many details as possible. Both from the IEBC and from the public officials on why others chest thump themselves thinking they own system and deep state including the case of close to a million registered voters disappeared from the register. Many of those names are people from what we consider our strongholds. It is a clear attempt that the IEBC tries some monkey games,” said Mr Ruto.
The DP however said that his opponents have no room to win the election only if the process will be held comprehensively and responsibly as contemplated in the Kenyan constitution.
“We don’t believe that they will succeed (referring to his opponent Azimio) but this attempts source of concern to Kenyans,” added Mr Ruto.

Bungoma County senator Moses Wetan’ula added that the election process is an activity that needs proper articulation to the various levels where the election process is accommodated.
“The elections are not judged free and fair on the basis of the conduct on the day of voting. It is the entire process of integrity on the voters’ roll, the conduct of the electoral officials, the conduct of the state machinery, and the response of the national security towards the process,” stated Moses Wetang’ula.
Kenya Kwanza promises to EU
The bottom line of the meeting held by the Kenya Kwanza team and the EU ambassadors was to pave the way and structure the country’s economy as a way of building a cordial business environment between Kenya and the EU bloc only if Kenya Kwanza will manage to form the next government.
Similarly, Kenya Kwanza also promised to work hand in hand with European Union on matters of regional security considering Kenya is surrounded by terrorist attacks that undermine the country’s economic growth.
“We are looking on working with you as EU on our regional security as you all know that as Kenyans we live in a very slippery neighborhood because of terrorism and other challenges around security. We will work to see if we can do more with IGAD and our counterpart neighbors of East Africa as a way of stabilizing our country’s growth and doing away with insecurity issues,” said Mr Ruto.
In addition, Kenya Kwanza drawled a plan that once they coordinate with the EU, they will be able to skyrocket measures to curb the global climate change affecting the agricultural sector.
“As Kenya Kwanza, would like to work with you in mitigating effects we obtain from the climatic change that has affected our agricultural sector for three years consecutively due to lack of consistency rains,” added the deputy president.
