Roots Party Presidential candidate George Wajackoyah now wants Kenyans to vote for ODM leader Raila Odinga if they will now wish to elect him in the August 9, polls.
While on a campaign trail in Kisumu county on Monday, Wajackoyah recounted that he has roots in the Lake Region.
He raised reservations about a section of leaders he accused of being fond of attacking the ODM leader.
Wajckoyah urged the leaders to stop attacking Raila and accord him some respect.

“I have roots in the Luo community and we must respect Raila. If you don’t vote for me then you would rather vote for him,” he said.
Wajackoyah has been crisscrossing the country in the hunt for votes.
Over the weekend, the Roots party leader pitched tents in the Western region where he rallied residents behind his presidential bid.
In his tour of Kisumu, Wajckoyah maintained that he will legalise bhang and start snake farming to transform the ailing Kenyan economy.
“When elected I will legalise marijuana farming as it will increase the country's revenue and create more jobs for unemployed youth. A 50 Kg of bhang goes for $350 and will fetch a lot of money to repay the Chinese loans,” Wajackoyah said.
