ODM Party leader Raila Odinga has opened up on the possibility of working with Deputy President William Ruto ahead of 2022 general elections.
Raila also added that Ruto has already declared his interest in the presidency but he seems not to support anyone.
While talking to Kalenjin radio stations on Wednesday October 6, 2021, Raila told the community that he is waiting for them to give him someone he can work with.
So far, it is only DP Ruto and KANU party leader Gideon Moi who have declared their 2022 presidential ambitions among the Kalenjin community.
“I am still the Arap Mibei you used to know,” he told them.
Raila, however, hit out at DP Ruto’s hustler narrative, arguing that the second in command was misadvised.
“Whoever advised William Ruto to use the word Hustler misadvised him. Hustler ni mtu mkorofi, mwizi na mtu mwenye anatumia njia za mikato,” Raila said.
He said he was yet to declare whether he will run for presidency next year or not.
“For now I want to unite the country through Azimio La Umoja,” he added.
Raila further noted that he will not look for any endorsement ahead of 2022.
