Wahome: Raila Is Trying To Divide Central Using The Handshake

Kandara MP Alice Wahome has read mischief in the whole handshake agreement, seeing it as a ploy by Raila to divide the important Kikuyu votes that rightfully belong to Dr William Ruto.

“Raila has never been able to win the presidency because he lacked the important Kikuyu vote and that is why he wants to divide us using the handshake,” Wahome said in an interview.

She also noted Raila’s history of trying to divide people and parties, adding that his politics is only based on division.

In a desperate attempt to cobble a team that could help him secure his ambition at the presidency or whichever position he may deem powerful, ODM leader Raila Odinga has brought together leaders that one can summarise as driven only by vengeance and opportunism and hate against DP William Ruto rather than principles.

The initial script went something like this: divide the Jubilee Party which in its wake meant dividing the populous Kikuyu vote bloc, ride on the handshake to inherit the President’s traditional support and leverage on the state power that comes with proximity to the head of state.

The results have been mixed thanks to a sustained onslaught from DP William Ruto’s camp who managed to caricature him as a political turncoat taking advantage of his rapprochement with the president to bolster his 2022 chances.

The MP noted that by bringing together a coterie of rather light-weight politicians looking for a straw to clutch on, he boxed himself in a corner that leaves him no room for broader negotiations with strong regional kingpins.

It can only be described as attempts by a desperate leader to take anything thrown his way even if it works against him.

Taking a swipe on the Kibra race that was dubbed as a test for the handshake, the Mp Noted that there’s no evidence to support the notion that Kibra winner Imran Okoth benefited from the so-called handshake brigade and the attempt to rekindle ODM is quickly turning out to be a non-starter given the shaky foundation that’s being laid.

“Raila’s political flame is dying and the not even the handshake will help him, he should not be allowed to divide Jubilee and the central votes,” Wahome noted.
