    "content": "will want to contest for that kind of position, but it requires courage. It requires somebody who has the stamina to come out and declare intention to run for the position. This country could not have a better candidate than him because his credentials are known. He has served the African Union, at the level of high representative on infrastructure before, for a period of about three years. He had performed exemplary very well. He had done a good job and had all the credentials as a Pan-Africanist to contest for that high office. In an election contest, there must be a winner and a loser or you can also go on a draw. It is not easy to raise the confidence of over 20 presidents of a country. You saw that in the first round, he got 22 votes. Those are 22 countries that have faith and confidence in the candidature of Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. Many of us, if we were to contest, might not even get votes from three, two, or even one president, but he managed to raise those numbers because he is a Pan- Africanist and he is known in this continent. He has done and participated in solving many things affecting this country. The elections for the African Union chairmanship took place, but before our candidate left for Ethiopia, his last speech at the Bomas of Kenya, in a conference that was held by the ODM Party, said that he would be very happy if he won and in the event he lost, he has a home to come back to where life continues as usual, and he would do his business and other things. What has shocked me as a Kenyan and up to now I am still in shock, is not the loss that we had in Addis Ababa, but the celebrations that happened in some parts of our country after we lost that election. This was not a Kenyan contest."
