The past few days have not been good for Raila Odinga. After suffering home and away defeats in the Ugenya and Embakasi South by-elections on Friday, Baba was at Kasarani and watched as Gor Mahia was brushed away by Morocco Giants Berkane.
But in fact that was just the beginning of his woes. On Tuesday, his ODM Party had to withdraw from the Wajir West by-elections after their candidate joined Jubilee.
The same day, Ruto pulled another one on Raila, when he told the country that Baba had approached him 4 times, seeking for a handshake and he (Ruto) refused.
It is on the backdrop of all these tragedies, that the Tanga Tanga team, also known as the hustler Nation decided to mourn the death of ODM Party.
Under the tag #ODMisDead, the hustler Nation said some very mean things about the Orange Party.
They accused Raila of dividing the nation during elections, only to come up with his building bridges initiative. In other words, Baba thrives on ethnic divisions.
The hustler Nation believes that the fall of Baba has come at a time when the chief hustler is enjoying a meteoric rise. He is matching to State House unopposed.
One of them is falling and the other rising.
Retweet for RAILA ✔✔

ODM decided to use Ruto as their campaign tool in Ugenya. It backfired badly on them and they are now an internet meme.
ODM’s Secretary General is called Edwin Sifuna, a man who has never won an election.
We are hoping that we will see a response from ODM soon. Things are escalating very fast before 2022.
