Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition chief Raila Odinga may have played a greater role in organising the DR Congo’s opposition in the December 2018 presidential election that was eventually won by Mr Felix Tshisekedi, a governor said on Wednesday.
Without elaborating, Kisumu Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o said the two leaders mobilised African and global support for the Congolese opposition that saw it defeat the ruling party candidate.
