Just after Ababu Namwamba made his grand exit from ODM, in what many a people termed as a political suicide to the young lawmaker, it was alluded that CORD has some ground in Western block. Sources now reveal that the ODM kingpin is now having another strategy that seems well crafted to face the next years general election.
CORD leader Raila Odinga has been holding secret meetings with Amani National Congress(ANC) leader, Musalia Mudavadi in what close Mudavadi aides are saying is aimed at crafting a strategy which will see Raila support Mudavadi in next years polls.
According to sources from close Mudavadi aides, Raila is deeply considering opting out of the 2017 polls to leave Mudavadi and Kalonzo,whom he highly believes can defeat UhuRuto, face the Jubilee candidate at the polls.
ANC chairman Nakuru branch , Simon Wesile, speaking on Thursday in Nakuru , said that in what might surprise many, Raila might make the unexpected move of supporting Mudavadi. He went further to say that Raila’s political star is dimming and he is keen to avoid another embarrassment at the ballot by supporting Mudavadi.
‘‘There are meetings going on and things are being worked on and we will see what that yields but I know Raila has the option of supporting Mudavadi and he is considering it’’said Wesile.
‘‘he sees Mudavadi as the best placed person to get Jubilee out of power and wants to use him to do that because his main aim is to see Jubilee out of power,’’ he said.
‘‘Raila knows that his chances of winning 2017 are minimal and that is why he sees Mudavadi and Kalonzo as the best candidates to battle it out with Jubilee,’’he said.
Wesile’s statement may not be greeted well will ‘Baba’s’ diehard supporters. what is for sure is the fact that it is just a couple of days ago that Musalia Mudavadi launched a scathing attack on Raila for mistreating Luhyas in ODM,after Paul Otuoma and Ababu Namwamba exited ODM.
It the same Mudavadi who said that ODM has miserably failed to represent the hopes,interests and aspirations of Luhya community and that it is a party that specializes in political posturing and gerrymandering with no clear and long-term tangible agenda.
Whether Wesile’s statements are facts we can rely on is still a pending question. Though many political analysts have said ousting the UhuRuto regime is will be Agwambo’s biggest achievement of all time,leave alone being a president.
Can Raila Amollo Odinga support Musalia Mudavadi? that is for you readers to decide.
