Siaya Senator James Orengo on Tuesday, March 9, weighed in on the recent talks about the possibility of ODM Leader Raila Odinga working together with Deputy President William Ruto in 2022. The ODM political strategist said in no uncertain terms that working with Ruto as a political ally at this point in time would only derail their aspirations - even if there were frustrations coming from Jubilee. The Senate Minority Leader told NTV in an interview that Ruto and Raila did not agree on a wide range of issues, and which would make an alliance untenable. But I don't think there are any principles that can get us to work together," Orengo added. The relationship between the Deputy President and Odinga took a wild turn when former prime minister and the president formed the handshake after the disputed 2017 general elections.
