About 500 elders drawn from President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Kikuyu community are set to visit Kango Kajaramogi home and endorse opposition chief Raila Odinga for the top job. The meeting, the first of its kind, is the clearest indication that Uhuru may back Raila and not his Deputy William Ruto when he retires in two years time. The elders started arriving at the lakeside city for a political statement that is expected to have a bearing on the 2022 race to succeed Uhuru. After Bondo meeting, the Luo elders and select political leaders will be hosted for the second part of meeting in Nyeri county on October 30, 2020.
