ODM leader Raila Odinga yesterday gave the strongest indication over his plans to exploit his handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta to penetrate the vote-rich Mt Kenya region.
Raila said he was ready to tour the region to popularise the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), and in preparations for the 2022 General Election.
The former PM dismissed the narratives that the region was hostile to him and the proposed constitutional changes.
Raila spoke when he met Kikuyu Council of Elders and Githurai traders in Ruaka, Kiambu, in what appears to be a change of tack in countering DP William Ruto, by endearing himself to the common mwananchi, which constitute the “hustler nation” constituency.
