ODM boss Raila Odinga says it would be a tall order for former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiag’i to succeed in his presidential bid.
Raila observed that Matiang’i could be basing his ambition on tribal support, which he noted is not enough to make one president.
“You cannot be elected the president of Kenya on the basis of the Kisii vote, or Luo or Luhya vote. You will be elected by Kenyans generally. We will deal with that when the actual time comes. Matiang’i has not come out to speak and declare that he wants to run for the presidency,” he said.
