Le pr\u00e9sident kenyan Uhuru Kenyatta a officiellement annonc\u00e9 samedi qu’il soutiendrait son ancien rival Raila Odinga pour la pr\u00e9sidentielle d’ao\u00fbt prochain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0Nous avons choisi Raila Odinga pour \u00eatre le 5e pr\u00e9sident du Kenya\u00a0\u00bb, a lanc\u00e9 le pr\u00e9sident Kenyatta \u00e0 plusieurs milliers de ses partisans rassembl\u00e9s \u00e0 Nairobi. Le soutien de Kenyatta \u00e0 Odinga scelle le rapprochement de deux des grandes dynasties politiques qui se sont historiquement combattues dans les urnes pour diriger le Kenya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
En 2018, Uhuru Kenyatta et Raila Odinga avaient sid\u00e9r\u00e9 le pays en se serrant la main et en d\u00e9clarant une tr\u00eave apr\u00e8s les violences post-\u00e9lectorales de 2017 qui avaient fait des dizaines de morts. En 2007-2008, une autre vague de violences post-\u00e9lectorales avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait plus de 1.100 morts. Le mois dernier, le parti Jubilee de Kenyatta avait annonc\u00e9 rejoindre la coalition Azimio la Umoja (Qu\u00eate d’unit\u00e9) de Raila Odinga en vue des \u00e9lections pr\u00e9sidentielle et l\u00e9gislatives de l’\u00e9t\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0Nous n’avons aucun doute, nous avons un capitaine d’\u00e9quipe qui s’appelle Raila Odinga\u00a0\u00bb, a affirm\u00e9 samedi Uhuru Kenyatta, qui ach\u00e8ve un second mandat et ne peut pas se repr\u00e9senter, selon la constitution kenyane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 77 ans, Raila Odinga qui va se pr\u00e9senter \u00e0 une 5e \u00e9lection pr\u00e9sidentielle, a assur\u00e9 accepter \u00ab\u00a0cette nomination avec absolue gratitude et d\u00e9vouement pour notre peuple\u00a0\u00bb. Cette alliance entre Kenyatta et Odinga laisse de c\u00f4t\u00e9 le vice-pr\u00e9sident William Ruto, initialement destin\u00e9 \u00e0 succ\u00e9der \u00e0 Kenyatta, qui a n\u00e9anmoins pr\u00e9vu de se pr\u00e9senter \u00e9galement \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidentielle d’ao\u00fbt prochain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
