He also accused Mr Odinga of blocking him from becoming Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero’s running mate, in favour of Mr Jonathan Mueke.
When contacted for comment on behalf of the former PM, his spokesman, Mr Denis Onyango, said questions pertaining to the 2013 election campaigns and the pre-poll deals should be directed to Orange House – the headquarters of Orange Democratic Movement – and not Mr Raila.
