Ruto pushing for a handshake with Raila Odinga according to Azimio lawmaker, Senator Ledama Ole Kina.
The decision by President William Ruto to designate former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as the official opposition leader has continued to draw conflicting responses, with allies from both sides reading from different scripts.
Narok Senator joined the group of leaders who were devising theories on Saturday, December 10, to crack Ruto’s coded “squid game.”
Ledama claimed that the President was involved in a scheme to work out an agreement with Raila Odinga, the former prime minister.
Ledama Ole Kina, one of Raila’s staunch campaigners in the 2022 General Election, claimed that the clamour to offer Raila a constitutionally guaranteed position was by no means out of the blue.
“President William Ruto seeking a “colourful” handshake with my party leader Raila Odinga through Parliament,” Senator Ledama Olekina alleged in a statement released on Saturday, December 10

Ledama added that Ruto sought a political truce with the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party Leader through appeasement and enticement tactics.
“His recent letter to the Speakers of both Houses of Parliament depict a man whose future will be determined by application of 48 Laws of Power and not chest-thumping,” Ledama clarified.
His statement after Ruto on Friday, December 9, wrote to Members of Parliament (MPs) in both the Senate and National Assembly, asking them to amend the Constitution and create an office for Raila.
“The consequence is that the overall political leader of the minority side is effectively excluded from meaningful political participation, and left to rely on the minority house leadership to perform the function,” Ruto stated in the memo.
