A war front against the government, another one against the IEBC, national security agencies, military. It doesn't portray a very good image of somebody who want to become country's commander-in-chief," said Waiganjo on Citizen TV's Opinion Court on Thursday.Political analyst Prof Edward Kisiangani advised Raila to get advisers who know what political strategy is."If Raila advisers are the ones telling him that this is the right thing to do, then it could backfire on him. In terms of political strategy, he should be above what these claims are. He has many foot soldiers he can use to make these allegations and be the one to bail them out in the event they are jailed over the same. He will be able to say that that is not true I think they were reckless I am above that I am a national leader."

He added, "Raila's advisers and those who surround him might think that when they smile at him they are giving him strategy. Many allegations have been made in Jubilee also but President Uhuru Kenyatta has been a bit careful. He keeps quiet and let his people take on Raila."

Kisiangani urged Raila to stop answering the likes of Aden Duale and wait for comments from his rival President Kenyatta. He noted that if Raila doesn't change focus from what he termed as 'political naivety' in the next 45 days, he will have lost it in terms of strategy as he is yet to start looking like a presidential figure.
