Dagoretti North Member of Parliament now says that the March 9 truce between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition chief Raila Odinga has had no negative effect on Raila's popularity.
Speaking on Wednesday, the MP said that far from what most think that the former Premier betrayed his supporters, he remains strong and enjoys even more admiration from them.
He added that Raila achieved double since he has attracted even the backing of Uhuru's supporters, and would as usual fill a political rally to the lid if he were to call for one today.
"Raila is even stronger for those who think that he has lost his support base. He now has even the support of Uhuru's supporters and would shock the nation if he were to call for a rally at Uhuru Park," he said.
The last time Raila called for a public rally was during his January 30, 2018, in Uhuru Park, an event that was attended by thousands of his supporters and hundreds of allies.
He has remained largely politically dormant since the truce, a situation partly to blame on his appointment as head of the African Union Infrastructure Development department late last year.
But his allies led by Siaya Senator James Orengo has repeatedly hinted that the Orange party leader should be expected to drift to his former state in the run-up to the 2022 elections.
Orengo has been saying that Raila could once again take a shot at the top seat in the much-awaited elections.
