Analysts argue that Raila Odinga has no chance against President William Ruto in 2027, adding that the 2022 race was his fifth and last stab at the presidency. With the 2022 general elections now done and dusted, Murathe and Kioni argued that the high cost of living and taxation will prompt Mt Kenya to turn towards Raila. “For now, our strategies will depend on our Azimio leader, Raila Odinga. Just like Andati told Kenyans.co.ke about Raila grooming another leader, Murathe asserted that some of Raila's staunch supporters will support any leader endorsed by the former Prime Minister. Mt Kenya needs someone they can trust, and as of now, Raila is the only person they can follow, for, in 2027, they will have hated President Ruto more,” he argued.
