Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya and Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi are said to have met separately with ODM leader Raila Odinga — to seek his support for the presidency.

Oparanya and Mudavadi met Raila to persuade him to support either of them in the race to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta, but nothing much has come out of the meetings, according to sources.
