Opposition leader Raila Odinga will without doubt make another attempt to occupy the presidential seat in the approaching 2022 general election, in what will be his fifth stab at the post.

However, he is most likely to lose, as despite bragging of millions of voters and a good number of leaders behind him, he will be technically vying against the same people who beat him twice.

His main rival will obviously be Deputy President William Ruto who backed President Uhuru Kenyatta in beating him in both 2013 and 2017 and must have mastered the art of successfully combating the enigma.

This means that whether or not the past races were ‘clean’ or he was rigged out as he has repeatedly claimed, the same technique that was used to beat him will again be used to achieve the same result.

Odinga should also prepare for an uphill task of convincing other national leaders to back him for the race, judging by the fate of his National Super Alliance (NASA) co-principals who escorted him to the 2017 presidential contest which saw him emerge second.

He will have it hard attracting leaders, apart from the ones currently in his band, especially after the fall off Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula whom he failed to save from Senate Minority Boss ejection, despite the Ford Kenya party leader having stood by him in the elections.

Lastly, he will have it even harder raising campaign monies since his financiers must have grown tired of his repeated losses and unless he comes up with a brand new convincing story, he might end up not having enough to cater for the expensive procedure.
