Speaking on Monday in the Lower Eastern region, the Cord co-principal urged other opposition leaders to back his presidential bid, adding that he is better placed to unseat President Uhuru Kenyatta in the August 8 polls. 

"I am the most appropriate presidential candidate for Cord in this year's elections. It is my time to take up the baton. My conviction tells me I am likely the next president of this country," the Standard quoted Kalonzo. 

The opposition is yet to settle on a presidential candidate, with the political wing attracting other heavyweights including ODM leader Raila Odinga, Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula.

 The former Vice President further urged the residents to enlist as voters, noting that it is the only sure way that the opposition can send the Jubilee administration packing. 

The second phase of the mass voter registration which began on January 16 concludes on February 14.
