Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang'ula Now says ODM leader Raila Odinga has himself to blame for several election losses.
In a statement, the Former Bungoma Senator acknowledged that Raila is indeed a popular political figure in the country.
He however said the former Prime Minister has however failed to leverage his political strength to win elections because of his one big mistake of being disorganised.
"Raila Odinga is my friend. We formed CORD with him and then formed NASA together. I know how he loses elections. He is very popular on the ground but very disorganised and has only himself to blame for his loss in August 2022," he said.

Wetang'ula spoke when he hosted the Norwegian Ambassador to Kenya Gunnar Holm on Thursday.
He was briefing the ambassador when he inquired about the effect of Azimio's demonstrations on the country.
"In our engagement, the ambassador was curious about how the demonstrations called by the Azimio Coalition will affect the business of the House and the country at large," he said.
"I told him that while demonstrators have demanded that the recruitment of members of the IEBC stop, there are two pending by-elections that need to be concluded within the 90-day period after annulment required by the law."
Wetang'ula went on to claim that Azimio's call for demonstrations is a way to ask for a Handshake with President Ruto.
"I informed the ambassador that the people calling for the demonstrations are trying to force a Handshake. These are people who cannot accept that we defeated them fair and square. These are people who are well known to me and I have been talking to them," Wetang'ula said.
