RUTO is going nowhere! RAILA betrays Gen Z revolution as he opposes their calls for the president’s resignation – Look! Better to have RUTO than GACHAGUA

Thursday July 18, 2024 – Azimio Leader Raila Odinga has betrayed Kenyans after he dismissed Gen Zs calls for President William Ruto to step down.

Addressing ODM Parliamentary Group yesterday, Raila asserted that removing Ruto would only result in Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua assuming power and perpetuating the same detrimental policies.

“Ruto goes, then what? Ruto may go then Gachagua takes over [to continue] implementing bad policies. Ruto can also say ‘I am tired, let the [military] generals take over. 

"Then the country begins to go through what Egypt went through after Tahrir Square. ‘Ruto must go’ cannot be an end,” Odinga charged. 

“It’s at times of crisis like this that a country needs to talk. 

"We are not doing it to save Ruto. We are doing it to save Kenya. 

"Generals don’t have teargas. They don’t have water cannons. They have bullets,” he added.

Raila’s firm stance points to a deepening rift within the Opposition, particularly within the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition. 

The coalition’s members, including ODM, are increasingly divided, with some factions gravitating towards Gachagua in anticipation of a potential pre-election alliance in 2027, thereby isolating Odinga.

This became evident yesterday where ODM goons intercepted Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka’s presser, ejecting him out of the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation premises for allegedly opposing Raila’s support for dialogue with Ruto.
