National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale [PHOTO/standardmedia.co.ke]Raila Odinga should now leave politics and retire peacefully.
This is according to National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale.
According to an article he wrote in the Standard, Duale said that Raila has been becoming 'politically irrelevant' by the day and it is time he found something else to do.
He said that the charm that brought people close to him is no longer existent and that his support base has wane drastically.
"Whatever magic he used to hold over millions of his supporters has waned, and there is no one to blame except himself.It is clear the NASA experiment failed, just as CORD and many other alliances before it," he said.
"Mr Odinga was not able to inspire his people to the polls, and taken together, the five NASA principals politically slumped in their heartlands," he added.
Duale said that Raila's political partners are increasingly walking away from him and that those close are only hoping to inherit the reigns of the opposition.
"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.
"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."
