A section of Nyanza legislators recently announced they will not support another presidential candidate other than Raila Odinga. This followed proposals to have ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi run as the Opposition candidate with Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka as his running mate in next year’s General Election.
This stand is regrettable because it works against Raila’s State House bid. If they cannot support another person, then how do they expect other communities to support Raila? The Constitution states a presidential candidate must garner support in at least 24 counties. This means Raila will need support from other communities to win the Presidency and as such, his supporters should stop displaying what seems to be intolerance against members of other communities.
