Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi now says Azimio La Umoja leader Raila Odinga lost the 2022 presidential vote due to lack of apt organisation on his side.
Ngunyi who had advanced Raila's bid dismissed the claims that President William Ruto was rigged in.
He referenced Raila's recent offensive on US ambassador to Kenya Meg Whitman who during the recently concluded Devolution Conference stated that Kenya's election last year was flawless, free and fair.
According to Ngunyi, Raila's attack on Whitman were unwarranted, saying that he (Raila) ought to blame himself over his failed fifth bid at the country's top seat.
While taking on Whitman for giving the election the clean bill of health despite the supposed electoral malpractices issues he had raised, Raila asked her to "shut her mouth".

That formed the basis for Ngunyi's attack on Raila.
"Dear Babaman (Raila): Did you order Meg Whitman to shut up because she is a woman or because she spoke the truth? Or is it both? If Ruto rigged the 2022 election, the truth is not in the server. The truth is that you were disorganised. Period," said Ngunyi in a tweet.
This would be his first offensive in Raila days after he declared to have shifted allegiance to Ruto.
Ngunyi is in record advancing Raila's campaign last year, dismissing Ruto's chances of succeeding retired president Uhuru Kenyatta.
While announcing his defection to the president's fold, the 'tyranny of numbers' theorist took credit of the 'hustler nation' mantra on which Ruto rode to power.
So according to him, his support for Ruto signified return to his original home.
"Public notice: I have defected to William Ruto. I mis-judged him using the dynasty lens. But if the facts change, you must change your mind. And only a fool does not change his mind. I started project #HustlerNation. Now I must complete it. Iko Swali?" posed Ngunyi.
