Opposition chief Raila Odinga has set the stage for a gruelling duel with Deputy President William Ruto and released snippets of his 2022 blueprint that will anchor his presidential run. “I am persuaded beyond reasonable doubt that Raila will be a presidential candidate in 2022,” former Cabinet Minister Franklin Bett said. The former PM's blueprint could mean the 2022 presidential battle will be largely issue-based with candidates expected to campaign on a policy platform. In the ODM boss' vision for the country, more investments should be made to ensure stability by promoting social cohesion out of ethnic and religious diversities. In January Raila, was hosted at the sacred Kikuyu shrine with the Kikuyu Council of Elders, offering symbolic prayers for the ODM boss while facing Mt Kenya.
