Raila Odinga now 77, has dominated Kenya’s politics for close to 50 years. His early years in politics were spent in detention due to his resistance against President Daniel Arap Moi’s dictatorship. Not one to give up, he spent the 90s pushing for reforms and a new constitution for Kenya – a milestone that he helped Kenya achieve in 2010 alongside the then president Mwai Kibaki.

“The people want me to run and also because they feel that injustice has been done to me and also what I represent they believe that I represent change,“ said Odinga.
