What's Really Going On with Raila? Three Possibilities to Consider

 Charlene, a supporter of Raila Odinga, is asking why Raila hasn't communicated anything to his supporters after the  meeting. After the gathering, many Azimio supporters were excited, believing that Raila was finally signaling a move towards action. They expected parallel Jamuhuri Day celebrations, but this plan was suddenly canceled. After Raila's return from the U.S., he remained quiet, leading to confusion about his intentions. Now, rumors of a "soft handshake" or cooperation with President Ruto are circulating, leaving many supporters unsure of what’s happening.

Chris explores three possible reasons for Raila’s silence, each with its own implications.

Possibility 1: A Handshake is Coming

Some signs suggest that there may be a handshake in the works between Raila and Ruto, which has caused some speculation among the public. However, Chris has previously argued that this might not be the case and provides a video discussing why he believes a handshake isn’t likely.

Possibility 2: Raila Has Given Up

A more unsettling possibility is that Raila has decided to step away from active opposition politics. While some younger supporters may find it easier to accept this narrative, seasoned observers of Raila’s political career may find it harder to believe. Nevertheless, Chris reminds viewers that this is just one of the possibilities to consider.

Possibility 3: Raila is Waiting for the Right Moment

The third and most hopeful possibility is that Raila is biding his time, waiting for the right moment or piece of information before making a significant move. Chris suggests that Raila is allowing other political moves to unfold while he waits for something crucial to fall into place. This approach could lead to a more decisive action when the timing is right.

Chris reflects on his years of experience in political analysis and cautions against rushing to conclusions. He assures viewers that the truth will become clear in time, but until then, patience is required. Whether Raila is preparing for a handshake, stepping back from politics, or waiting for the perfect moment, only time will tell.
