Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya leader Raila Odinga has denied that President Uhuru Kenyatta's backing of his (Raila's) 2022 presidential bid could have cost him the presidency.

The speculation came on the back of several accusations that President Kenyatta had failed Kenyans in a number of areas, including his failure to contain the cost of living.

Odinga, however, said the curse of incumbency did not dent his chances of winning the election.
