So, on the second Tuesday of August 2017, Raila Odinga will be 72 years old and potentially Cord leader Raila Odinga understands more than anyone why it took the opposition 10 years to unseat Moi. Thirdly, and probably most potently, Moi funded some opposition leaders in order to split the opposing coalitions. Kanu’s support for Matiba almost went overboard and made him a genuinely strong opponent who almost out-polled Moi. With an opposition history as replete with lessons as this, why does Cord find itself in the same fragmented state that Ford and DP were in over two decades ago?
