Kenya's former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s presidential bid is expected to pick up steam this weekend, with President Uhuru Kenyatta having joined the front line of campaigns for his preferred successor.

President Kenyatta for the first time last week told his supporters at a meeting dubbed Sagana three that Mr Odinga was the most qualified politician to take over from him.
