Kenyatta backs ex-rival Odinga for president



Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has endorsed his former rival, Raila Odinga, as a presidential candidate in this year’s elections.

The incumbent, who cannot run again as he has already served two terms, told a crowd of thousands in the capital, Nairobi, that he had no doubt that Mr Odinga was team captain.

Last month the governing Jubilee party joined a coalition headed by Mr Odinga.

In 2018 Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga declared a truce following deadly post-election violence.

The two families have been arch-political rivals for decades.
