Veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga could face Deputy President William Ruto in 2022 presidential elections, top ODM strategist Silas Jakakimba has hinted.
A disillusioned Odinga is reportedly contemplating to quit NASA with sources intimating that he is keen to revamp the ODM party ahead of 2022.
"He is not interested with NASA now and his focus remains on ODM. He will be meeting the NEC and NGC to strategise the way forward," a source said.
For weeks now, the ODM wing has openly rebuked other NASA affliates for allegedly working with Jubilee to undermine NASA's agenda.
But Jakakimba, an Ex-aide of Raila, hinted that the former Prime Minister may run in 2022 despite earlier claims that he would retire.
"If Kalonzo's way of politicking remains like this, 2022 will be a walkover for Ruto or even after a possible Raila Odinga presidency," he said.
At a conference in Machakos, Raila told off Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana, insisting that they must first finish with 2017 issues before tabling 2022 agenda.
Should he run, it will be his record fifth time attempt, the highest in the history of Kenya.
