Tharaka Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki noted that attempts to dissuade Kiraitu were thwarted by alleged intimidation. The lawmaker claimed that Kiraitu's past would have been unearthed and used against him had he not joined the Raila team. This comes as Kiraitu announced on Tuesday, March 8, his support for Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader, Raila Odinga. Defending his decision to join the Azimio movement, the governor asserted that he made the move after a careful analysis of the political landscape and lengthy consultations with his constituent. "We have done our analysis, we have done our research, the next President of the Republic of Kenya is Raila Amollo Odinga," he stated.
