Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has unsuccessfully contested for the Presidency four times. Renown Political analyst Prof Herman Manyora in his YouTube analysis gives one of the mistakes Raila has made that denied him the presidency.
Manyora said Odinga's over-involvement in minor politics of who should be the governor, Senator or Member of Parliament instead of focussing his energy on the greatest price of Presidency cost him greatly.
"I told Raila Odinga during the Launch of his book that it will be difficult for him to go to State House if he continues to play cheap local politics of who becomes the Siaya Governor, of who from his family becomes what," Manyora said.
Manyora further said the Presidency is so big that once you have it all the other things can be fixed including taking care of relatives.
According to Manyora, President Uhuru Kenyatta is a perfect example of leaders to fix their eyes on the price and that at the end they achieved what goal.
"The people who know the power of Presidency, the sweetness of Presidency are people like Uhuru Kenyatta. They leave nothing to chance, they go all out for that presidency, eyes on the ball. They can never be cheap games around Gatundu or Meru when Uhuru is going for the presidency," Manyora added.
Manyora was using the two leaders to advice Musalia Mudavadi on what to do if he wants to win the 2022 presidential elections.
