Outpouring of grief as ex-Kenyan PM Raila Odinga dies in India

France 24 October 15, 2025

Kenya has lost one of its most prominent political figures with the passing of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. The 80-year-old spent much of his career in opposition and unsuccessfully ran for president five times. However, his ability to form strategic partnerships with former adversaries earned him the nickname 'Agwambo' (the mysterious one). Current President William Ruto is among those with whom Odinga reconciled, and he was among those who paid their respects upon news that Odinga had died at a health retreat in India.
