I'll Not Engage in 2022 Succession Politics, Raila Says

Opposition leader Raila Odinga says he will not engage in 2022 succession debate but will instead concentrate on his new role at the African Union.
In a statement to newsrooms, his spokesman Dennis Onyango says Odinga will put all efforts to building infrastructure across the continent and uniting Kenyans.
“To provide the required leadership in this critical area, and in line with his previous pronouncements, Mr. Odinga wishes to reiterate that he will not engage in Kenya’s succession politics ahead of 2022,” reads the statement.
“Mr. Odinga wants to dedicate the next couple of years to building infrastructure across the continent through his new office and uniting Kenyans through the Building Bridges to the New Kenyan Nation (BBI).”
Raila was recently appointed as High Representative for Infrastructure Development in Africa by African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki.
A section of political leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto have been calling on Odinga to quit local politics and focus on his new job.
“Since the position will require frequent travels particularly to foot-print member states and regional economic communities across the Continent, he will work with NEPAD offices in the various regions to coordinate his activities,” adds Onyango.
