•Raila noted that he will not contest again if he loses in the August polls.
Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga has said that this year's general election will be his last stab at the presidency.
He said he does not intend to vie again because of his age but he will still have much to do out of elective politics.
“I’ve been out of active politics but the African Union appointed me as the High Representative on infrastructure and it kept me very busy,” he said in an interview with BBC.
Raila was appointed to the AU in October 2018 to support and strengthen the efforts of the Commission’s relevant Departments.
The former prime minister who is 77 years old first contested the presidency in 1997 losing to the late former president Daniel Moi, in 2007 he lost to Mwai Kibaki and in 2013 and 2017 he was defeated by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Last month, the ODM leader said he will willingly accept defeat should he lose the August 9 polls.
Raila, who will be making his fifth stab at the presidency, is facing stiff competition from Deputy President William Ruto of UDA.
The ODM leader who has been crisscrossing the country in a hunt for votes has pledged to release a monthly Sh6,000 stipend to vulnerable families.
He has also promised to introduce Baba Care health insurance to cushion Kenyans.
According to Azimio's manifesto, Raila plans to have manufacturing as the driver of the government’s economic revolution to spur growth of the economy resulting in employment and wealth creation.
They will also support the growth of Ministry of Micro, small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) including the JuaKali sector through improved productivity and efficiency.
