In what is generally seen as a huge surprise, the President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta has backed long-time arch-rival, Raila Odinga to be the next President of the country.
Kenyatta’s decision to back Odinga comes weeks after their parties joined forces ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections set to hold in August 2022.
Addressing a cheering crowd on Saturday, Kenyatta said, “We have chosen Raila Odinga without any opposition to be the fifth president of Kenya.”
