Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyonka says National Super Alliance coalition will crumble should they fail to name Raila Odinga as flag bearer.
With only five months to elections, the opposition coalition is yet to name its flag bearer, although sources indicate that the technical committee settled on Odinga.
And Onyonka, who has been nick named master of defections, says that Odinga’s long experience in politics would give President Uhuru Kenyatta headache.
“With all due respect, I believe Odinga can beat Uhuru if he’s is given the ticket. His experience in politics is quite immense,” said Onyonka on Thursday.
Onyonka, who defected ODM for Ford Kenya added: “We all need a winning formula and Odinga is a good bet. I believe that NASA will collapse without him.”
Before rejoining his ODM party, Onyonka had briefly camped in Jubilee and would make a shocking move to Ford Kenya later on.
He is facing a stiff challenge from business mogul Antony Kibagendi and former Kisii Mayor Sam Omwando.
