Duale, Garissa Town MP, said that the opposition leader lost the support of neighboring countries.
"In fact, Mr Odinga’s strongest foreign ally, Tanzania’s President John Pombe Magufuli, already congratulated President Uhuru Kenyatta on his election victory, becoming one of the first foreign leaders to do so," he said as quoted by Standard.
Duale, who has been one of the strongest critics of the opposition, also said different leaders who used to support Raila in the nation have backtracked for the sake of their political careers.
He cited the case of former ODM Chief Whip, Jakoyo Midiwo who openly differed with Raila after he lost during nominations.
"Additionally, Raila’s political partners have walked away from him, may be to secure their political careers.Even his ally and former ODM Chief Whip, Jakoyo Midiwo, openly challenged his leader and called for an end to strikes and demonstrations and said the only people who will lose from these actions are his followers," he said.
The remarks of the lawmaker come after the Supreme Court nullified presidential elections.
