More than half of Kenyans believe Cord leader Raila Odinga should not contest in the next General Election despite being the most popular challenger to President Uhuru Kenyatta.

A study published by research firm Ipsos shows that three in every 10 Kenyans prefer Mr Odinga to retire completely from politics, while another 22 per cent want him to concentrate on growing his party instead of vying again.

The study done between November 7 and 19 also shows 56 per cent of Jubilee supporters want him to retire from politics but 70 per cent of Cord supporters polled said he should remain active and contest.
