On December 1st, Raila Odinga's strongest supporter held a private meeting with President William Ruto, Chief Cabinet Minister Musalia Mdavadi, Speaker Moses Wetangula, and other western region politicians. According to Francis Atwoli, the meeting was called upon by the western kingpins to discuss issues on development and how to bring their community together. Francis Atwoli during the campaign trail was Raila's biggest defender on matters alines to politics. He fought hard to ensure western votes are cast in the name of Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. This meeting comes after there were allegations that Wycliffe Opranya was planning to quit ODM and join another party. He came out clear and stated that he is in ODM to stay and he is not planning to run anytime soon. Every politician wants to be in the government. A number of them decided to run for the government from the opposition with the excuse that they want jobs. Raila is now trying to hold together the Azimio party till the next election.
It is not clear or confirmed who will fit in Baba's shoes once he's out of politics. Raila has been a constitutional defender and a Man who will mobilize millions of Kenyans with his words. He is indeed the kingpin. Whoever wants to replace him has bigger tasks awaiting him.
