As the battle for the 2017 elections intensifies, Cord co-principal Moses Wetangula has insisted that he is the right person to face President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2017 and that the coalition should consider making him the flag bearer.
Speaking at Butula and Bumala in Busia on Friday, the Bungoma senator said that his chances of winning the presidency were more solid compared to the ODM leader Raila Odinga and Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
"I am ahead of the pack and I have what it takes to deliver that mantle. I ask my brother Raila to support my candidature just as the Luhya community has unconditionally backed his presidential ambitions thrice. It is his turn to support Mulembe son," Wetangula said in Butula.
"Raila and Kalonzo are not my enemies. However, it should be noted that your strategic partner can also be your strategic competitor," he added.
The Ford Kenya Party leader was also quick to reiterate that Western is no longer an ODM zone as it used to be in the past and warned that no outsider should go there and tell people what they should do.
