RAILA ODINGA threatens to drop out of 2017 Presidential race
RAILA ODINGA threatens to drop out of 2017 Presidential race and has vowed that he will not participate in the 2017 General Elections if the current Independent Electoral Commission (IEBC) will be the referee.
Speaking yesterday, the former PM stated that CORD will boycott next year’s elections if the current IEBC is not disbanded and reconstituted.
He said there would be no reason for him to run for President while well aware that IEBC will steal his victory in favour of Uhuru Kenyatta again.
“We need to address factors that may lead us to a state of violence that we witnessed in 2008. We will not go into the gallows.” Raila told Aljazeera in an interview
“If IEBC is not properly reformed, there would definitely be no reason to participate in the coming elections,” Raila added.
However, Jubilee has welcomed Raila’s statement urging him to make good his threat because that would give Uhuru a free pass to State House again.
