What you need to know:

  • Former ally Kalonzo Musyoka had said it would be ‘stupid’ of him to support Mr Odinga’s presidential bid for the third successive time.
  • Mr Kalonzo is the second politician after ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi to vow not to support Mr Odinga, accusing him of betrayal.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has mocked politicians who have vowed not to support him for the presidency in 2022, saying he has never declared that he will vie.

The critics, he said, should instead wait until proposals in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) are adopted.
