NAIROBI, KENYA: The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) is headed for more storms after two co-principals declared they are firmly in the race for the presidency, a week after former PM Raila Odinga, made remarks widely interpreted to suggest he would be the sole flag bearer for the coalition in 2017.
Raila announced last Saturday, that he was the people’s choice to battle it out with President Kenyatta, who has already announced he will be seeking a second term in 2017. The statement was construed to imply Kalonzo and Wetang’ula had given Raila the all clear to be CORD’s flag-bearer, sparking sharp reactions.
