Saturday, January 27, 2024 – Former Prime
Minister Raila Odinga is not interested in becoming president anymore.
This was revealed by outspoken lawyer, Miguna Miguna, who
stated that Raila may not be on the ballot come 2027, going by what is
happening.
This comes even as the ODM Leader dropped the clearest hint
that he will vie for the presidency in the 2027 General Election.
Raila, who was speaking in Kwale during the ongoing party
recruitment drive, compared himself to a sturdy tree that may be shaken by the
wind but remains standing.
Raila said the ODM party has good plans for Kenyans and will
only achieve that if more residents register themselves as members.
“Wanasema ati mti mkuu ukianguka wanandege huyumbayumba.
Mimi sikuanaguka nilitingishwa tu kidogo na upepo lakini niko Imara,”
Raila said.
However, responding to Raila’s remarks, Miguna said Raila
was not interested in occupying the country’s top seat.
Miguna, an ally-turned-fierce critic of the opposition
leader, said Raila was only interested in being the Luo’s kingpin, adding that
his sixth stab at the presidency is already predictable.
“Predictable. Just like his sixth failure. Raila is not
interested in the presidency. He only wants to control and continue pauperizing
Luos until he dies,” Miguna said on the X platform.
Raila, who unsuccessfully vied for the fifth presidency in
the 2022 polls, said his goal was to protect democracy and ensure justice for
all Kenyans.
“These people are not following our fathers’ foundation and
dream of fighting, poverty, hunger, illiteracy and bringing freedom and
fairness,” he says.
Raila will be seeking to battle it out with Wiper leader
Kalonzo Musyoka for the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party presidential
ticket in the 2027 polls.
