I'm Not interested in Sharing Power With You, Raila Tells President Uhuru

National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has refuted claims by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy Willian Ruto that he is aiming for a coalition government.

The former Prime Minister said that he eyes the presidency without sharing power with anyone.

"We want the whole thing, we will win the Presidential polls and we will win this election very early. We cannot share power with thieves," Raila stated.

Speaking at the St Stephens ACK church, along Jogoo road on Sunday, Raila, who was accompanied by his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka and other NASA leaders maintained that they will not allow the current IEBC to conduct a repeat poll.

His remarks comes just a day after President Uhuru and his deputy alleged the Orange Democratic Movement leader is scheming to re-introduce a coalition government.

Speaking in Nakuru on Saturday, Uhuru said Raila was plotting to rise to power using unorthodox means.

"These people are not interested with an election, they want a "Nusu Mkate" (Coalition government).

"We want to show them that it is the electorate who decides, not Maraga and a few people at the Supreme Court," Uhuru said.

However, Raila dismissed the claims saying that he is ready for a fresh poll and exuded confidence that he will trounce Uhuru in the poll to be held in 60 days.

BIG LIE. Proof to every Kenyan that you are not interested in nusu mkate by conceding in 50+ days. Mind you this will be the 5th time you will be pronounced a loser. But again you never know! A guy from Nyeri ran for MP for 45 years and finally he was elected this year and now he is in parliament.

This time around the only NUSU MKATE will be splitting kenya in to two. You will be forcibly deported to central republic of kenya from PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF KENYA. You can take that to the Bank.

In JP I think we need to be more proactive than reactive. NASA will push all boundaries like they have done in the past, walking a very fine line to evoke emotions and trap you into painting using a broad brush. JP change the conversation and the playing ground-hire spin doctors.

Agreed. But also let's borrow from Mwose & anonymous who really say nothing but trumpet their propaganda here. Develop propaganda for JP and just repeat it in every story posted. It is simple and effective.

The biggest looser is Ruto at least if JB looses Kenyatta has been a president and there is no way Kelenjins will have Ruto as their candidate in 2022. should Nasa win the election
