Social media was abuzz on Wednesday with Kenyans discussing different topics.
Here are today's trending topics.
The hashtag hit the trends on Wednesday after Opposition Leader Raila Odinga vowed to support his running mate, Kalonzo Musyoka in the 2022 race.
In an article published by The Star, Raila assures Kalonzo that he would support him for the Presidency in 2022.
Raila made the assurance after President Uhuru Kenyatta asked Kalonzo to join Jubilee.
Kenyans on social media, however, felt that Raila had dumped Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi by vowing to support Kalonzo.
Most users advised Mudavadi to quit the National Super Alliance (NASA) and join Jubilee.
Here are some tweets from the trend:
