President Uhuru Kenyatta with ODM leader Raila Odinga at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi City County during the Jubilee Party's National Delegates Conference.
Except for the 1997 elections when he first vied for presidency – in what Raila Odinga describes as “a mere test drive” – the former Prime Minister and his supporters have always exuded confidence ahead of the polls. And this time around, Raila’s backers are even more confident he will emerge victorious in the August 9th contest.
