Political analyst Ambrose Weda now claims that opposition leader Raila Odinga is finally on the right track with regards to his long-time presidential ambition.
In an interview on KBC English Service’s ‘The Big Conversation’ early Wednesday, Weda lauded Odinga for reconsidering his relationship with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The High Court Advocate noted that Raila’s only route to the top seat lies in collaboration with other major politicians, especially the Head of State who enjoys a massive backing across the nation.
‘’The only way Raila can be President is by collaborating with Uhuru. He cannot be President through propaganda, fighting other leaders and dancing in political functions as was the case before,’’ he advised.
Raila on March 9 earlier in the year reached a truce with the head of state outside Uhuru’s Harambee House offices in Nairobi, in what was later dubbed ‘The Handshake’.
This brought to a halt their initial enmity which came as a result of their competition for the presidential race in the 2017 general election and the earlier one in 2013.
The leaders have gone ahead to collaborate on different fronts, one of the products of their union being the Building Bridges Initiative which seeks to among others, unify the nation.
Both are, however, yet to disclose whether the handshake will reflect in the coming 2022 general election.#hivisasaoriginal
