Before running for the presidency for a fifth time The ODM leader is running on a coalition which is supported by the outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta with the main contender being the Deputy President William Ruto. Raila first contested the presidency in 2007 losing to the long serving Daniel Moi, in 2007 he lost to Mwai Kibaki and in 2013 and 2017 he was floored by the incumbent Uhuru. Raila hinted that the 2017 election would have been his last but he was forced to yield to pressure from close allies and change his mind and entered the field for the fifth attempt. Implement promises Raila whose running-mate is former Justice Minister Martha Karua is running on an anti-corruption card and has vowed not to spare anyone in the fight against the vice. He promised to implement his promises in the fight against graft if elected president in next month’s poll.
