The Man Who Has Lost Most Elections in the World Now Wants to Start a War in Kenya

By Thomas D Rothkopf - January 26, 2017

Habitual and world record holder of presidential elections loss, Raila Amolo Odinga is warning of destroying the Republic of Kenya if he does not win the August 2017 general election. 

Odinga who tried to overthrow a legitimate government in 1982 is hell-bent, his fellow politicians are warning. Odinga was quoted by both local and international media swearing he will revenge if he loses the polls citing registration of Ethiopians and Ugandans’ as voters in Kenya.

Odinga blamed the National Intelligence Service (NIS) the intelligence service of East Africa’s largest economy and military power. His assertions caused Uganda and Ethiopia to protest to Nairobi warning of diplomatic and subsequent economic relations drift if such unsubstantiated remarks are made by political leaders in Kenya.

An audit of social media sentiments in Kenya’s main cities namely; Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Thika, all which are multi-ethnic shows a sharp rise in ethnic undertones and extreme hatred. In some threads analyzed by our reporters, many citizens are ready to defend themselves from Odinga’s tribesmen who are threatening war.

In 2007, Raila Odinga after losing the presidential election to Former President Mwai Kibaki started an ethnic violence which left over 1300 people and hundreds of thousands others displaced. The main victims were from the Kikuyu community who Odinga accused of stealing his election.

In 2017, Odinga is using the same sentiments to create hatred and social injustices. He is doing this in broad daylight and no one seems ready to stop him, even the international community is playing blind to the small fires that stoke post election violence.

President Kenyatta has been preaching peace throughout his tenure and has been steadfast in warning warmongers against instigating or attempting to propagate hate.

The election in Kenya will be interesting to watch, the perennial election loser seems decided on his last chess move, and he wants a war and possibly gets a slice of the government as he did in 2007. The current regime has warned it’ll not bulge to such demands rather will win the election resoundingly.

As Kenyans brace for a turbulent political season ahead, and worse, possible violence in the magnitude of the Rwanda genocide the country’s economic future has been beautiful. 2017 might break this beautiful outlook courtesy of one man Raila Odinga who claims he has never lost an election rather he is habitually rigged. He now wants a war.
