About this listen
Following the passing of Raila Odinga, political analyst Emmanuel Taban examines how Kenya’s democracy icon shaped multi-party politics, constitutional reform in 2010, and a culture of peaceful protest. We revisit Raila’s calming “handshake” politics, including the recent broad-based arrangement with President William Ruto, and debate online reactions, kingpin dynamics, and ODM’s future leadership, from Edwin Sifuna to Babu Owino. The conversation weighs whether his absence strengthens citizen-led opposition after the 2024 Gen Z protests, and how it could reshape nominations, by-elections, and the 2027 race. Tune in to learn how Raila showed that change doesn’t require the presidency but that consistency, credibility, and country-first leadership can still move nations.
