Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo now claims that the people around President Uhuru Kenyatta did not support Raila Odinga's candidature in August 9 polls.
Speaking on Sunday, the legislator said that some individuals misled the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance leader.
"But we must say some things. There are people who were duping Jakom (Raila)," Otiende said.
"The president himself was supporting Raila but the people around him were not supporting him. I think they sabotaged us."
He explained that the said characters duped Raila before and during the elections.
"Those ticks (said people) must now leave" he added.
The senior counsel who represented Raila in the presidential petition at the Supreme Court claimed that Raila's win was stolen at the ballot, at the Supreme Court and in parliament.
Otiende spoke at Mutumbu Primary School during the burial of Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo's sister Lucy Akinyi.
Sought to explain his sentiments, the Rarieda MP said that there are people around Raila and the outgoing President who were cheating Raila.
Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi said the sycophancy that has clouded the region's politics and Raila's ambition must now be dealt with.
He said that the sycophants were not teachable oblivious of Raila's loss.
"It is time for reflection," Atandi said.
Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga,, however, assured residents of Siaya that the are people the incoming administration will not jeopardize in any way.
He also urged colleagues to go slow on attacking others whom they disagree with, following Raila's loss.
"For now let us not tell others to leave. Let us go slow," Oburu said.
