President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday gave the clearest signal he is backing ODM leader Raila Odinga as his preferred successor.
The President made the revelation when addressing a gathering in Kibra where he was accompanied by Raila for a tour of development projects.
The president opened two hospitals in the populous area that Raila represented as MP for decades.
President Kenyatta for the first time left no doubt that he wanted someone who would continue with his development plans after he exits in 2022.
He heaped praises on Raila for accepting to enter into a handshake with him in March 2018 saying the peaceful environment that followed helped his legacy projects.
“When we came together, didn’t we experience peace? So where is the problem? Isn’t that what we want? Don’t we want that work to continue? It is up to you. Will you make wise choices? Let us see how you will do it,” President Kenyatta told the jubilant crowd.
