Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has made a bold political assertion, arguing that the absence of the late Raila Odinga from active electoral politics has left President William Ruto without a serious competitor ahead of the 2027 General Election.
“The Serious Competitor Is Not Around”According to Duale, Raila Odinga’s political stature and support base were unique and deeply entrenched, something he believes cannot be easily replicated.
He described Raila’s constituency as a “pillar” that once anchored opposition politics but has since collapsed.
“The serious competitor is not around,” Duale said, dismissing other opposition leaders as political lightweights.
Opposition Lacks Numbers and Mobilization PowerDuale further challenged opposition leaders to demonstrate their grassroots strength, claiming none of them can mobilize crowds comparable to those President Ruto commands.
