Former Prime Minister (PM) Raila Odinga has revealed that he will not team up with former Deputy President (DP) Rigathi Gachagua following a public vote in Wajir.
Speaking during a consultative forum in Wajir on March 5, 2025, the Prime Minister emphasized that he could never work with a politician who once desired his downfall.
He cited Gachagua’s past remarks in which he vowed to set traps to prevent him from accessing State House.
“The other man said he had set traps everywhere so that I should pass and get a handshake, so do you want us to go to the man who set traps for me? I told him that is impossible”, Odinga noted.
“The trap that was set against me did not work, and that is why you saw me at State House alongside other East African Leaders, including President Museveni, Samia Suluhu, and Ruto”, he added.
Citing the fact that he will never work with Gachagua, the former PM compared it to a story of a man who set a trap to catch a rat but ended up suffering from his actions.
