The Luo Council of Elders has advised former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to retire from active politics and go back to Bondo because he has no chance of becoming the President of Kenya.
Speaking in Kisumu on Sunday, the
council’s splinter group, led by former Chairman Riaga Ogallo, said Raila Odinga has very slim chances of defeating President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, in 2017.
Riaga noted that Uhuru/ Ruto have made very significant political strides with their unique leadership style that is laced with development across the country and that it would be difficult for Raila to convince Kenyans otherwise.
“Uhuru/ Ruto have made huge political strides with their down-to-earth leadership style which has earned them support across the country. With this in mind together with development around the country, Raila Odinga has no chance,” said Riaga.
Similar sentiments had earlier been shared by renowned political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi who said the former PM had no chance of becoming the President of Kenya ever because generational change already took place with Uhuru/ Ruto and that no one will ever again opt to elect a dinosaur like Raila.
