The Machakos gubernatorial race is hotting up and aspirants Wavinya Ndeti and incumbent Alfred Mutua continue to trade blows as the election date draws closer.
Wavinya seems to have the upper hand at the moment if a recent tactic by her supporters is anything to go by.
In a photo that has been doing rounds on social media, a poster of Ms Ndeti portrays her as a leader who will lead residents of Machakos to 'the promised land' while Mutua is tagged a 'fisi' (hyena) and is seen staring at a woman's derriere.
Clearly, the choice is simple for Machakos

Haha. Perhaps the most creative campaign poster I have seen so far. Yaliyo ndwele sipite's campaign team wako chonjo sana.

Last month, Governor Mutua blamed Wavinya for a series of attacks that saw development projects worth millions destroyed in Machakos County.
He accused the former Kathiani MP of sabotaging his government and working day and night to reverse progress made in the county.
Politicians from both Jubilee Party and the Opposition are now engaging in vicious online wars as they battle for the hearts and minds of 19 million voters.
The fights have been taken to every social media platform, including WhatsApp, Google, Facebook and Twitter.
