Kenyatta, Raila will Form Government in 2022, ODM MP Says

An ODM MP claims that President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga will form the government in 2022.

Speaking in a recent interview with The Standard, Dagoretti MP Simba Arati said a referendum to be held before 2022 will clear the way for Odinga to be President as Kenyatta becomes the Prime Minister.

"Kenyans should prepare for the new power line up, Raila would be President in 2022 with President Uhuru serving as his Prime Minister. Those who are opposed to this should start getting used to it early enough,” said Arati, a confidant of Odinga.

The two-time MP said changes introduced to the Constitution through the referendum will eliminate the winner takes it all scenario provided in the current law.

“Let it be known that we are going to have the next general election under a new constitution to ensure that the major key players in the country’s politics are accommodated in order to end the winner takes it all syndrome,” said Arati.

Arati further noted that the two have proved that they can take the country to the next stage as evidenced through their March 9th handshake that has lowered political temperatures in the country.

“We have a seen a different President Uhuru who is not going to spare anyone in the fight against corruption, if he delivers I do not see any problem with him serving as Prime Minister with Raila as President in future,” Arati added.
