Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has said he will back Raila Odinga for 2017 presidency only if he sees he will win.
Kalonzo has on several occasions asked Raila to drop his presidential bid and support him, as he did in 2013.
The former vice president says the Cord principals will have to agree on who will be the coalition's presidential flag bearer in next year’s polls.
“I am not saying that this time he (Raila) may not win but we must look at it. If we are going to end the same way we did (2013) then he cannot be the flag bearer. If I am the flag-bearer and the possibility is that I am going to lose, again I should not be the flag bearer. So we have a lot of introspection to do and being as straight forward as that,” Kalonzo said in an interview with the Standard.
When asked whether he would accept to be a running mate, Kalonzo said he will support either Raila or Moses Wetangula, if they agree.
"I have no problem if it is agreed that I am a running mate. I have said it before that if Raila is the candidate I will support him, if it is Wetang’ula I will support him and if it is me and of course I pray it is me. I hope they can support my candidature this time round. This is the time for this country to try a strong Kalonzo candidature."
