CORD leader Raila Odinga has dismissed media reports that the coalition was likely to split. Raila announced that CORD affiliate parties — ODM, Wiper Democratic Movement and Ford Kenya — will each work to strengthen their outfits and later agree on a candidate to face President Uhuru Kenyatta in the polls. Speaking at Kirembe grounds in Kisumu yesterday during celebrations to mark ODM’s tenth anniversary, the party leader allayed fears that he was contemplating going it alone in the elections. “Our unity is still intact and nobody should mistake our current separate rallies to mean disunity,” Raila told the huge crowd. We can only change this when we unite and vote ODM into power,” said Raila.
