neither deny nor confirm the talks.
“I can neither deny nor confirm,” he said as quoted.
This means the end of the CORD which was formed in 2012 ahead of the 2013 election.
The CORD fronted Raila Odinga as its candidate but lost to Jubilee’s Uhuru Kenyatta.
Raila is also seeking to vie for the presidency for the fourth time but faces opposition from his colleagues in the CORD, especially Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula.
Wetangula at some point said that it is time Raila stepped aside and supported another candidate for the presidency as he has failed in three attempts.
His sentiments were echoed by Raila’s close ally, former National Assembly Speaker Farah Maalim, who said in an opinion piece that for CORD to win, Raila should support another person and come back in 2022.
