It has now emerged that CORD leader Raila Odinga and the entire Opposition brigade have been holding a flurry of private meetings in a bid to strategize on how they will ensure President Uhuru Kenyatta is sent home in the upcoming General Election.
On Wednesday, Odinga is said to have driven to Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula’s Karen home where the two jointly took breakfast.
After meeting with Mr Wetangula, Odinga moved on to meet former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo.
On his part, Mr Jirongo said that they were working on an all united front that will bring all communities in Kenya together.
“I met Raila to discuss the future of this country. As you know, he is a factor that you cannot just wish away,” Mr Jirongo said.
On the other hand, the Bungoma Senator went to meet Rongo MP Dalmas Otieno before holding joint talks with Mr Jirongo, Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale and former National Social Security Funds Managing Trustee Jos Konzolo at a Nairobi restaurant.
At the same time, Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi, who is seen as Mr Wetangula’s rival in Western region supremacy battles, was holding a meeting with Governor Hassan Joho in Mombasa.
Confirming the series of meetings, Wetangula stated that the meetings are aimed at generating an opposition political power to drive President Kenyatta from State House.
ODM Director of Elections and Suna East MP Junet Mohammed said the strategic meetings between various opposition leaders will be the “ultimate salvation” of Kenya from the jaws of corruption.
The opposition leaders are expected to kick off a series of joint national rallies around the country to popularise their outfit as well as rally the opposition against the ruling coalition.
