Minority Leader Junet Mohamed alleged that entrenched power brokers consistently blocked Raila Odinga from the presidency, not voter sentiment alone, explaining his repeated electoral defeats. He also acknowledged that elite interference was not the sole factor, placing some responsibility on voters and insufficient grassroots mobilization by Raila's allies.

• Junet Mohamed claims "people who normally make people president in Kenya did not want to make Raila president."
• The Suna East MP pointed to calls to open electoral servers as reflecting concerns the system wasn't aligned in Raila’s favor.
• He criticized Raila's friend, the former president, for not effectively campaigning in the Mt Kenya region, stating campaigning from State House was insufficient.
