Raila Odinga has withdrawn from the repeat elections. This has many implications on Kenya’s peace as well as the political future of several leaders including DP William Ruto.
The DP will have to wait longer to head Kenya. He might have to wait longer to start his journey to State House. His Presidency will materialize depending on when Raila Odinga will yield to pressure.
The opposition stated that government was only ready to take part in an election that they will win. According to Raila, this was among the reasons he withdrew from the race.
"The only election Jubilee is interested in is one that it must win, even unlawfully," Raila said.
Meanwhile, Raila criticized the international community for promoting dictatorship in Kenya. He vowed not to allow international actors to sabotage Kenyan democracy.
"It is unfortunate that international actors who have supported Kenyans in their quest for democracy and good governance are now on the side of appeasing dictatorship in the mistaken belief that it will maintain stability," he added.
