Key dates in Raila Odinga's political journey
Raila Odinga, Kenya’s long-serving opposition leader and former Prime Minister, has died. His decades-long political journey shaped the nation’s democracy and inspired generations of reformists.
From being detained in 1982 for alleged treason to joining the fight for multiparty democracy in the 1990s, Raila remained a central figure in Kenya’s political transformation. He vied for the presidency five times, coming close but never clinching the seat.
