Raila Odinga: Latest news, updates and background
Raila Odinga is one of Kenya’s best-known political figures. If you want clear, timely coverage — rallies, court moves, coalition talks or policy comments — this tag page pulls it together. You’ll find short news updates, plain-language explainers, and quick timelines that help you understand what his moves mean for Kenya right now.
What we cover
We track three things closely: breaking developments (speeches, court rulings, official statements), political shifts (alliances, party moves, cabinet or coalition changes), and practical impact (how policies or protests affect everyday people). Expect fast updates when a big event happens and short explainers soon after — no jargon, just what changed and why it matters.
Want context? We give quick background on key moments in Odinga’s political life so headlines make sense. For example, we explain his role as a long-time leader of the Orange Democratic Movement and his time as Kenya’s Prime Minister from 2008 to 2013. We also map how recent deals or disagreements reshape election math and governance.

Use the tag feed to stay on top of new posts. Click any story for the full article, or scan our short summaries if you want the gist fast. If you follow Kenyan politics, check here after major events: election announcements, court rulings, coalition reshuffles, or high-profile interviews.
Looking for analysis? We publish explainers that break down complicated topics — think vote counting rules, coalition bargaining, or what a new budget means for counties. If a story develops over days, we add updates so you can follow the timeline without hunting through multiple pages.
Curious how this affects you? We point to the practical side: how policy promises or budget choices touch services, jobs, and local projects. That makes the politics easier to connect to everyday life, whether you live in Nairobi, Kisumu, or follow Kenyan news from abroad.
