[NASA presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga during the presidential debate.]National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga on Monday attended the presidential debated at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa.
The opposition leader was engaged in the discussion which was moderated by Joe Ageyo and Linus Kaikai as President Uhuru Kenyatta snubbed the presidential debate.
However, as Raila was speaking during the debate he kept confusing Joe Ageyo and Linus Kaikai and Kenyans who were following the debate keenly across the country took to social media with other making jokes out of it.
On a number of occasions, Raila was heard referring to Linus Kaikai as Joe Ageyo until Linus had had enough of it and attempted to correct Raila but it was all in vain.
As expected, Kenyans poured on social media to poke fun at Raila and below are some reactions from twitter users.
@sirfestohh If Baba calls you Joe.… That is your Name…. Ask your parents y they gave you the wrong name. #debatesKE
