Why Odinga may not have been Kenya’s ideal leader

Kenya's Azimio La Umoja Party (One Kenya Coalition Party) presidential candidate Raila Odinga and his running mate Martha Karua look at a document at the Milimani High Court in Nairobi on August 22, 2022. 

What you need to know:


  • Raila’s double standards are what made him chicken out of the presidential debate with Ruto
  • One undeniable challenge that Odinga faced against President Ruto was that he was a man of the past; and that the young voters were less concerned with his history of liberation but rather their own pockets.
