Raila Odinga Told To Endorse Kalonzo Musyoka During The 2027 Presidential Election To Challenge Ruto

Monday, January, 2, 2023-Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka's close lieutenants have asked former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to retire from politics and endorse the Wiper party leader as his successor.

The leaders led by Kitui County Senator Enoch Wambua and his Makueni County counterpart, Daan Maanzo said Kalonzo has supported Raila Odinga's presidential bid three times and now it is now his turn to return the favour in 2027.

Wambua said Raila should endorse Kalonzo's presidential bid in earnest to prepare well for the 2027 duel with President William Ruto.

Maanzo on his part said he feels that Musyoka is the only person between the four bigwigs who can floor President William Ruto in the 2027 general elections.

"We have stood three times with Raila Odinga and it is time now he should stand with us so that opposition remains united", Maanzo said.

Their remarks however have been refuted by Orange Democratic Movement(ODM) Secretary General Edwin Sifuna who labelled the move as premature.

Sifuna said it's five months since the previous election and therefore it is too early to start talking about the 2027 General Election.
