Nine days to the October 26th repeat election, National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga and Thirdway Alliance presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot are engaging in war of words over the fresh poll ordered by the Supreme Court.
In a statement on Monday, Ekuru Aukot dismissed Raila saying that he represents politics of the past and and should be sent home for the benefit of Kenya.
Aukot said that he does not care what the former Prime Minister thinks of him and vowed he would not withdraw from the presidential race as Raila wants him to.
“Raila represents the past, the kind of politics we want to rout out. This country is for all of us in equal measure. I would never want to respond to people who communicate nothing in huge crowds,”.
“I don’t care what he thinks (Raila Odinga), he won’t stop me,” stressed Aukot.
On Sunday, Raila branded Aukot a traitor and urged his wife to divorce him.
“ Walisema wameinua mikono, sasa wanasema wanataka kusimama kama rais wa Kenya. Wanapewa siku kumi wafanye campaign. Campaign gani? Jamaa ata ana aibu, anakubali jina lake liweke kwa karatasi,” said Odinga.
“ Wako na ma bibi ama hawana? Kama wako na mabibi ningewabia hawo mabibi wawapatie talaka mara moja sababu yeye ni msaliti, ” he told a cheering crowd at a rally at Mama Ngina grounds in Mombasa County.
Aukot said the country needs to move forward and the repeat election can’t be stopped due to Raila’s withdrawal.
Look whos talking. Raila…
Look who’s talking. Raila goes to court to petition for nullification of the elections, which is granted then he comes back and forefeights his candidature. Who is a traitor now!! Mnadanganywa mkijionea!!
We need a third strong party…
We need a third strong party in Kenya so that the parties which make sense can form government. That can prevent nonsensical candidates like Raila from creating chaos and mayhem. He’s making fun of Ekurus ambition to be president, the same fool who talks of peoples rights all day long. HYPOCRITE is what he is. And Ruto, watch out for Ekuru in 2022. He may very well have my vote if you don’t take steps to eradicate corruption. For now lets Concentrate on getting these thugs back to Bondo.
Baba why are you giving this…
Baba why are you giving this non starter political mileage. Wacha kupoteza wakati na walioo pumbaa he does not add any value even if he was to bring his 5 supporters to NASA. Wa turu wanajua tu cattle rustling
All things constant, there…
All things constant, there maybe a parallel here to the biblical story of David and Goliath. O’rengoishly asking, would Dr. Aukot pull a “David’s moment”? Time will tell.
Aukot for President!!
Aukot for President!!
