Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya has challenged the Luhya Community to back Opposition chief Raila Odinga in the August polls.
Speaking on Tuesday in Kakamega, the ODM Deputy Party leader observed that Raila Odinga is the only Opposition player best suited to beat President Uhuru Kenyatta, adding that the former premier has a vast experience in politics.
“I have known Mr Odinga for the last 15 years and he is the only suitable candidate who can take on President Uhuru Kenyatta and clinch the presidency in the August polls,” he said.
“If Mr Odinga is elected the next president, Kenyans will move in the right direction politically and be able to achieve a lot in terms of developments,” he added.
Oparanya further revealed that he had urged the Amani National Congress Leader Musalia Mudavadi to support Raila's Presidential bid.
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula also seek to unseat President Kenyatta on an Opposition ticket.
