According to Mbadi, who is also the ODM party chairman, former President Uhuru Kenyatta played a huge role in Raila’s U-Turn and it’s time for Raila Odinga and Azimio to stop considering his views.
“I am not persuaded that Uhuru means well for us now. If he wanted to give us leadership, he would have given us leadership in 2022. Some of us today would be Cabinet ministers; I would not be a nominated member of parliament.”
Speaking in Nyanza, Mbadi expressed his dissatisfaction in Raila’s step back on his list of nominees, stating that if the former President meant good For Raila, he could have secured victory for him in the 2022 elections.
“You are telling us that now is when Uhuru has the key to take us to the State House, and when he was there he handed the key to someone else. Now you are telling us that Uhuru can give us the key to the State House.”
