The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party leader, Hon. Raila Odinga, was seen making a grand entrance to State House under a heavy presidential security escort.
This scene, captured in a video from President William Ruto’s Facebook live feed, shows Raila’s convoy navigating the streets of Nairobi towards State House, ahead of the much-anticipated launch of his African Union Commission (AUC) bid.
The event, scheduled to be attended by five East African Community (EAC) presidents, marks a critical juncture in Raila’s political journey.
The recent political truce between President Ruto and Raila Odinga has already begun reshaping the country’s political landscape. The deal, which helped cool down the recent Gen Z demonstrations, included Ruto’s agreement to accommodate key ODM allies such as Hassan Joho, Wycliffe Oparanya, and Opiyo Wandayi into his cabinet.
Furthermore, President Ruto has pledged to support Raila’s AUC bid ahead of the much-anticipated election in Addis Ababa on February 25. This alliance signals a newfound cooperation between the two political heavyweights, with far-reaching implications for Kenya’s political future.
