The senator posted a photo of the poorly attended event, claiming they do not throw stones in Murang&#8217;a but rather vote with their feet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/7ac15c5082714ff2ac324e029cb9c2b3\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This comes amid videos being posted online of people allegedly leaving Raila&#8217;s meeting in large numbers. <\/p>\n<p>In the video shared by Dennis Itumbi, a number of supporters clad in Jubilee T-shirts could be seen exiting the stadium with security forced to stop a number of them who were trying to leave.
