A section of ODM legislators are asking CORD Principals Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula to back Raila Odinga’s candidature in the 2017 general election. The MPs who included James Orengo and Junet Mohamed warned that if Raila was not given the cord ticket, they would be forced to back Ali Hassan Joho in the 2022 presidential election. The leaders who spoke in Migori said Raila Odinga was the only cord principal capable of beating President Uhuru Kenyatta in the race for state house.
