Opposition leader Raila Odinga is likely to have it harder achieving his long-time presidential bid in the 2022 general elections.
The National Super Alliance (NASA) chief is likely to take a fifth stab at the post basing on his sudden political moves recently, but will again stumble as a result of his several miscalculations.
His silence regarding his former ally and National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader Miguna Miguna's woes, including his harassment at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and ultimate deportation will undoubtedly portray him as a traitor.
This will scare away a section of his supporters who now feel that he will turn against them as well once he achieves his ambition.
Odinga's truce with President Uhuru Kenyatta will also hinder his bid, with a section of his supporters yet to to come to terms with the move which to some of them is betrayal.
This is as a result of the Orange Party leader's earlier claims that Uhuru's quarters has twice stolen his victory, denying his supporters the feeling of being in power.
His ongoing disagreement with a section of leaders drawn from the former Western province, including his recent exchange with former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale in Funyula in Kakamega county last weekend, will surely take way some of the massive support he has always enjoyed from the region.
This will be further worsened by his ongoing enmity with Ford Kenya party leader and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula, who has since vowed to further spoil it for him in the region.
