Azimio la Umoja One-Kenya presidential candidate Raila Odinga yesterday urged his Kenya Kwanza competitor William Ruto to prepare for a tough contest and not disregard him as a lightweight.
Raila said Ruto had taken him for granted for a long time, thinking he is a coward, and that he must now get ready for a resounding defeat in the August 9 General Election.
“I hear Ruto is always telling President Uhuru to leave me alone with him so that he can deal with me. But I want to tell him that he cannot deal with me. A fellow man cannot dare me like that and yet I have my people who will vote for me at 100 per cent,” he said.
