Jubilee vice-chairperson David Murathe’s endorsement of ODM leader Raila Odinga as President Uhuru Kenyatta’s successor has ignited a fresh political debate.

Yesterday, Central Organisation of Trade Union (Cotu) Secretary General Francis Atwoli joined Murathe in rallying support for Raila in succeeding Uhuru when he completes his second and last term in 2022.
