ODM leader Raila Odinga is staging a fightback to consolidate his support.
In a week that has seen the opposition leader meet several groups, Raila yesterday made a foray into the heart of Nairobi’s Eastlands, a week after Deputy President William Ruto toured the populous Kayole.
The former premier has held town hall meetings with youth, women, and Kikuyu Council of Elders to sell the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) while using the forums to hit back at Ruto.

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.
