Oloo said that Raila will beat President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto because he is wiser and smarter than he was in the past general elections where lost to former presidents despite putting up a spirited fight.
The political analyst also said that the opposition has become mature enough to deal with Jubilee or any other political party as we head to the August general elections.
“He has been on this journey long enough and that comes with its advantages. He has matured in the game and has created a solid voter base over the time. Raila is obviously politically wiser and smarter and this poll will prove just that,” says Dr Oloo, as quoted by Nation.
The remarks of Oloo come at a time when Presidential aspirants are presenting the nominations papers to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Raila and his running mate Kalonzo have already been cleared to contest for the nations top seat in the forthcoming general elections.
