“We begin with the bombshell from cord co-principal Moses Wetangula who has now dismissed any possibility of his colleague Raila Odinga ever clinching the presidency in Kenya through cord. According to Wetangula, given that Raila has given a shot at the presidency 3 times now without any success, it is high time that Raila backed either him Wetangula, or the wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka. And as Chris Thairu reports, Wetangula maintains that cord is doomed to fail if they settle on Raila Odinga as the presidential candidate” (KTN News, 2016)
