Raila Travels to the UK after Cancelling Coast Tour

National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga is set to travel to the United Kingdom (UK) after canceling campaign rallies in the coastal region this weekend.

Raila's spokesman Dennis Onyango said that the opposition leader would be jetting out of the country to the UK, where he is scheduled tp deliver a public lecture, even as the October 26th election nears.

“He is travelling to the UK,” Mr Onyango said.

“He is supposed to deliver a public lecture at Chatham House, The Royal Institute of International Affairs in the UK,” he added.

The opposition alliance was expected to address a series of rallies at the Coast this weekend, but the tour was cancelled in the last minute after local leaders complained of being left out in preparing the rallies.

NASA leader Raila Odinga and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka were to address roadside campaign rallies at Akamba Handicraft, Bangladesh and Tudor on Saturday, before heading to Frere Town for a mega rally.

On Sunday, the opposition was supposed to address supporters in Likoni and Kombani before ending the tour with a major rally in Ukunda.

The move by Nasa leader to travel out of the country, and the cancellation of rallies further puts into questions the preparedness of the opposition outfit for the repeat poll, considering that their rival, President Uhuru and his deputy has hit the ground running as far as campaigning for their bid is concerned.

I have always wondered how he is able to con the International Community about his democratic credentials. He is more the type the West used in the past to destabilize African countries. If truth be told, he is more of a tyrant than Uhuru because he does not even have any constitutional powers to back what he does!

History has it that whenever Rao is at crossroads, he takes an exit to foreign lands only to re-appear as savior of his followers from same quagmire he created in the first place.

For all I care he can "disappear" and then resurrect after 3 days, and come back to take his followers to Canaan. After all isn't he referred to as baba, mwana na roho...by some of his worshippers?

The truth is, Election Fraud is not a good thing.
What is going on in Gatundu that is making Uhuru Kenyatta to refuse to go home?
Kwani alifukuzwa?
Insecurity is everywhere in Kenya you know.

Guys kikuyu's are brainwashed with stealing votes and that's why Uhuru went binch drinking when the court throghout the 2017 election results.He couldn't believe and even now he still says mungu yuko na mimi.It is a plan that uhuruto invested in with a lot of money right from 2013 and that's why William Ruto was bragging seven months before the general election that "Hi kitu ya 2017 kwisha and lets start campaining for 2022.On the other hand he meant to say that we have already voted meaning already riggid.God bless CJ Maraga it was not business as usual.It is so ridiculous that 100% Gikuyu believe that Uhuru won the election and it is sad.Even the educated class can't come to terms accept only Easter parade
Passaries the Nairobi woman rep
