Deputy President William Ruto allied Member of Parliament has spelled doom for ODM Party leader Raila Odinga’s 2022 presidency.
Speaking during a panel discussion on Citizen TV’s Daybreak on Tuesday morning, Uasin Gishu Women Representative Gladys Boss Shollei said it was highly unlikely that Raila would become president in 2022.
This, according to her, is based on Raila’s knack of losing in the polls.
“Raila has made his mark in history, he is a formidable politician but there is something wrong with his strategy, I’m very sure in 2022, he will not win the election, period!” She said.
Shollei further claimed that Raila won his first election but only with the backing of the entire Rift Valley and William Ruto.
“It is my personal opinion that Raila Odinga did win the 2007 election and guess who was behind him, Dr. William Samoei Ruto and the whole of Rift Valley, that’s how he won…” She added.
She further accused Raila of short-changing Kenyans by telling them that Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) is not about leadership positions.
“Raila Odinga has said it (BBI) is not about positions, he is lying, it is about positions, we have been talking about the Prime Minister position, we are creating positions instead of addressing pertinent issues.
Her statements come just a day after Raila said that the BBI is not geared at making him the president in 2022, or President Uhuru Kenyatta the Prime Minister.
