Kenya’s main opposition leader, Raila Odinga may contest in the country’s 2022 presidential election.

According to a senior member of his party, Senator James Orengo, Odinga, who was at the center of the hotly contested and disputed 2017 presidential elections is currently working with President Uhuru Kenyatta to reconcile and unite the nation.

Local media reported that Senator Orengo, alongside other members of Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) , confirmed Odinga’s intentions to launch a fifth bid at the presidency in 2022.

“We are rebranding our party leader to contest on an ODM party ticket in 2022,” Orengo said at the burial of the mother-in-law of former Gem MP, Joe Donde in Ikolomani Kakemga County.

Odinga, who has twice lost presidential elections to President Kenyatta, refused to accept the outcome of the August 8 presidential elections. Instead, he organized a symbolic inauguration where he was sworn in as the ‘people’s president’.

However, Odinga’s bid is expected to be countered by the political base of Deputy President William Ruto, who also has sights on the highest office in Kenya.
