NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga has a following that amaze and annoy everyone. The hate has been associated with Raila’s opponents only but political analyst Barrack Muluka has revealed that Ida Odinga also hates the love her husband receives from fanatics.
“What politicians’ wives hate is that supporters follow their husbands to the inner sanctum of their homes. The wife loses the husband to the people and most wives take this very badly,” said Muluka as quoted by Standard.
He however praised her support for Odinga’s State House quest. He likened her to Imelda Marcos. He admits that she is the reason Raila will have more votes.
“It can bring in the votes, or make you lose at the ballot. Look at First Ladies like Nancy Reagan or Nyerere’s wife. Mrs Peron was popular in Argentina. Grace Mugabe is a total disaster who can’t hold a candle to Sally Mugabe. Americans didn’t love Hillary as much as they loved Michelle Obama.
Some First Ladies were loved by the people and it could be said their husbands got voted in because their wives had a connection and love from the people,” he said.
