Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has told National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga calm down and that his political ambitions are over.
Kuria said Raila's hopes of heading to the State House were thwarted after IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati declared President Uhuru Kenyatta winner of the just-concluded repeat presidential election held on October 26.
The legislator asked President-Elect Uhuru Kenyatta to now work on uniting the nation after winning over in the 'easiest part.
“Raila Odinga's presidential ambitions are over for now. Uhuru Kenyatta is the President-Elect. He will be sworn in on the 14th of November most likely. That is the easier part," he said.
"The most difficult task is uniting this great nation and curing the scars of divisive campaigns. President-Elect Kenyatta's first priority after being sworn in and after appointing his new cabinet should be to sit down with a wide spectrum of Kenyans including Raila Odinga and other NASA leaders. We must reason together as brothers and sisters on how best to drive this nation forward. So Mr President, expedite on your swearing in and appoint your cabinet as soon as possible. After that it behooves upon you to reach out and talk to anyone and everyone as long as we unite our people of this great land, Kenya,” he said.
