January 6, 2022, marked a significant shift in Raila Odinga's election strategy as he prepares to face Deputy President William Ruto in the 2022 polls.
For the first time, Raila's team is planning to mount a meticulous and professional campaign, a departure from his previous presidential bids.
According to sources, the ODM leader is set to open a massive war chest to finance his campaign, a move aimed at countering Ruto's growing influence.
As Raila shakes off the label of his Luo community's dominance in his campaigns, he is seeking to broaden his appeal and reach out to a wider voter base.
With the 2022 polls just around the corner, Raila's election strategy is expected to be a closely watched development in the Kenyan political landscape.
