A Member of Parliament has said that ODM leader Raila Odinga will be on the ballot in 2022.
According to Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi, it is wrong for leaders to write off Raila's candidature in 2022.
This is after a section of leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto said that they will send Raila home before 2022.
"Raila will retire from politics at his own volution and that is why we in ODM can't entertain reckless statements from any quarter about his retirement," Atandi said.
Addressing a church service in Siaya on Sunday, Atandi said that Ruto allies should stop dragging Raila in the 2022 debate.
"Raila will be on the ballot come 2022 whether he (Ruto) like it or not but he will hit the campaign trail at the right time and not now," he said.
Last month, Raila had condemned leaders who had started early 2022 campaigns. He said it was too early.
