During the 2010 referendum, William Ruto and his 'No' side had the backing of the Church but they were defeated at the ballot. If people listened to the Church during the 2010 referendum, the 'No' team would have won. Many people are unhappy with the Building Bridges Initiative but at the ballot, they will vote with their political leaders and not the Church. If Kenyans had been voting with their religious leaders, then the Church would be the one deciding who becomes president. Think about it, when the Church announces that it has backed the 'No' side, will the Christians in Nyanza vote with ODM leader Raila Odinga or the religious leaders?
