RAINBOW Alliance is routing for sacked vice-president Saitoti to be their nominee to face Uhuru Kenyatta in a KANU showdown for its flagbearer on October 12.

Meanwhile, Kanu and opposition leaders have called on the government to reinstate Prof. George Saitoti’s security detail, saying that they feared for his life.

Rainbow presidential contenders, Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moody Awori endorsed Saitoti as the single candidate to battle it out with Kenyatta in the much- awaited exercise by 4,200 delegates.

Sources said the two warring parties might have agreed on nomination procedures and the need to have peaceful campaigns in order to bolster unity in the party.

Speakers at the Kajiado rally in Saitoti’s home, addressed Saitoti as ‘Rais Saitoti’.
