How Raila-Ruto deal revealed his political magic

Despite losing yet another bid to lead the country in 2022, ODM leader Raila Odinga remains at the heart of the country’s politics, playing central roles in policy-changing decisions such as the formation of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) and the recent impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

The opposition leader has always found a way to bounce back and influence governance and policy since losing his first election to President Daniel arap Moi in 1997, where he emerged third in a contest a united opposition could have easily won.
