Wednesday, February 23, 2022 – Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s presidential bid in August has received a huge boost after President Uhuru Kenyatta endorsed his bid on Wednesday.
The President, who spoke at Sagana State Lodge, when meeting Mt Kenya region leaders and opinion shapers, said after soul-searching and looking at all presidential candidates, Raila is the best candidate to succeed him.
The President also said he is sticking to Raila Odinga who helped him to maintain peace and stability in the country, rather than Deputy President William Ruto, who defied his command.
“I really have no problem with anyone. Even Ruto, I can support him later if he changes his ways.
“But for now, I plead with you, please support Raila Odinga,” Uhuru said.
Uhuru’s declaration comes amid high political temperature in the country, with Kenyans expecting the president to reveal why he is not supporting his deputy, William Ruto to succeed him.
