Wetang'ula: Raila Won't Vie for Presidency Again

National Super Alliance (NASA) co-principal Moses Wetang’ula says that August 8th election was Raila Odinga's last shot at the presidency.

The Bungoma senator noted that Odinga, who unsuccessfully contested for President in 1997, 2007,2013 and 2017 has now passed the mantle other principals — Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and himself.

The Ford Kenya party leader further called for the unity of the Luhya community, saying that only so they stand any chance of having one of their son succeed President Kenyatta in the 2022 general elections.

“Luhyas were once confused about who to support but that was solved when ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and I came together under Nasa and decided to work as a team,” he said.

Speaking in Tongaren constituency during the homecoming of Mitua Soysambu Ward Member of the County Assembly Stephen Wafula, Wetang'ula pledged to work with Mudavadi to deliver the Presidency to Western Kenya.

“I have told Musalia that we should work together. But as my younger brother, he should allow me as the elder one to lead first,’’ he said.

He added: “Those who have been confusing and auctioning Luhyas politically should be told that their time is up. As your son, I will not let you down. I will ensure the dream is fulfilled,” he added.

Is there Age Limit for Presidency in Kenya. Mli-Mislead Raila (into Withdrawing) alaafu Mnaanza Nyef-Nyef asubuhi na MAPEMA. FYI: Raila is still the Man to Beat in Kenya even at 100 yrs of Age. And Lest we Forget about the SWORN in Perpetual Thieves: It's a a FACT that Raila won in 2007, 2013, and 2017 Hands Down!!! How about that?

Raila was just their sacrificial lamb!! Akili ni nywele kila mtu ana zake. Miguna Miguna (flip- flopper of the year) predicted that Raila will never be president. Raila needs to listen and realize these guys are just using him.

Will Waceke allow Wetangula to run for presidency?I still remember the night he slept at OCPD Thuku's official residence after he went to Lang'ata P.S with a bandage to report the bartering by Waceke.It all started the moment he informed her that he had being promised the PM's job in the DOTO Raila govt.But Waceke insisted that he must defend his senatorial seat and had no alternative but to force Wetangula through heavy fists and KARATE kicks.Heko Waceke you saved the millions your family would have lost.

Unless Wetangula was drunk, like when he fell at the airport, i agree with him that Raila will never become presidend. But i think he was drunk as usual. Next thing, you will hear him saying he was misquoted.

Now you are talking mr wetangula on issues most of us agree on . the next elections will be in 2022 as we continue to fight for reforms : police and judiciary corruption theft etc. Unless Raila vie on ODM NASA will not bow for him . That is why he must overthrow Kenyatta else he die without fulfilling his dream but we can crown him president of Carnival organizers this winter and eventually Prince carnival Raila need the tittle and it is our duty to award him

Even if Baba does not run again there will be if there is not already another person to take his place. Resistance movement and NASA does not depend on one person nor will it disappear if Baba decides to retire.Jubilee can then transfer its hatred and insults to the next leader.Been there done that .It is not easy being in the opposition resistance continues.
