Speaking in Ekerenyo in Nyamira County during a campaign rally, Karua said they will not be intimidated about yesterday chaos that disrupted the meeting.
“Yesterday’s chaos at the Gusii stadium, let them know we are unshakable that’s why I am here today to hunt votes for Raila Odinga,” she said.
She noted that the meeting was not only intended for women but also for the youth.
She added that Karua said Azimio One Kenya Alliance Coalition has a big share for everyone in the Kenyan nation from women, men, youth children and people with disability therefore she called residents in Nyamira to vote for the Azimio la Umoja Government.
“The Azimio coalition is peaceful and therefore we are seeking for your votes in a peaceful manner without intending to cause chaos,” she stated.
“I urge women to turn out in large and vote we will make sure the message has sunk in the minds of women in Kenya,” she said.
