Thirdway Alliance leader Ekuru Aukot has explained how he was ‘disappointed’ by the National Super Alliance leader Raila Odinga in the run-up to the repeat presidential polls.Speaking on Wednesday during a morning show on Radio Jambo, Aukot stated that after Raila withdrew from the repeat polls, he expected Odinga to endorse him.Aukot said that since Raila had a lot of votes, he should have endorsed him in order to send President Uhuru Kenyatta home."Raila had lots of votes but pulled out. I expected him to endorse me so that I could easily send Uhuru home,” said Aukot.He further maintained that Thirdway Alliance was now the official opposition party after the withdrawal of Raila Odinga as a NASA candidate."After Raila pulled out of the fresh elections, it is official that Thirdway alliance is the official opposition," he said.President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the winner with 7,483,895 votes followed by Raila who got 73,228 votes.The ODM leader cited lack of electoral reforms as his reason for withdrawing from the race.
