Kenyan President Endorses Opposition Leader For Presidency
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has officially endorsed the opposition Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga for the presidency.
Addressing delegates of the Mt Kenya region last week, Kenyatta urged his community to support Odinga, saying he has the best interests for the country.
He said he will have no problem supporting Deputy President William Ruto in future if he reforms. Said, Kenyatta:
I’m asking you to support Raila Odinga as he means well for the Country. When ‘my young man reforms’, we will consider him.
This is the first time President Kenyatta was publicly telling his community that the ODM leader was his preferred successor.

He told the Sagana III meeting that Odinga (77) was the best fit not only for the Mt Kenya region but Kenya ta large.
According to Reuters, Odinga ran his previous four races as an anti-establishment candidate keen to shake up governance if elected, but now he has now joined hands with Kenyatta.
In Odinga’s last three campaigns for office in 2007, 2013, and 2017, he challenged the outcomes, saying his victories were stolen. Deadly clashes followed the 2007 and 2017 votes.
But he made peace with Kenyatta in early 2018, effectively sidelining Ruto, who is standing with a new party called United Democratic Alliance, after quitting Jubilee.
