What next for Raila? | Raila's options after African Union loss

Raila Odinga’s loss in the race for the African Union Commission chairmanship shifts focus to his next political steps back home. As analysts weigh his potential moves, one of the most pressing questions is whether the political camaraderie between him and President William Ruto has reached its expiry point. Close associates of Odinga argue that he is a master of political reincarnation, capable of reinventing himself even in the face of adversity. Some leaders, such as former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, have also signaled an openness to closer ties with Odinga. So, what are Raila Odinga’s options moving forward?

Ruto cannot afford to have raila and gachagua against him... He must at all cost preserve raila

[abdigiro]

Only raila and ruto will lead us wale wengine time yao imeisha

[erastuskorir]

[ItukonoOmar]

People should respect leaders, if you think you can be a leader one time or your child in future honestly we must have respect to leaders . No leaders will come from other nations to lead us . Sisi TU lead ourselves

[ItukonoOmar]

[mohamedabdullahi]

Let him stay at his home and relax. Kenyans also need him to be opposition leader

[yufusmalika]

Raila was not going to change anything- because Kenyans has suffered because of Ruto- wakenya wenyewe watamua.

[AMuuse-ihoo]

Odinga's best option is to retire (70y+) now & let one of his children join in politics🇰🇪, this gov. or later. he tried plenty of his chances by now..

[billyokode]

Raila shall be appointed to Kenya's High Commission in NewYork before 2027

[ring-tone]

A murderer of Kenyan children and a thief still remains a murderer, butcher and a thief and Canaan Msaliti Tumbo, still remains Judas Musaliti Tumbo “Conman”. Nothing changed except humiliation across Africa.

[PeterGichuhi-cn]

President ruto should take the blame for his POOR diplomacy in DRC and supporting Museveni to torture kizza besinge.

[AgnesNyakundi-cj]

[charity]

Go home and rest...greed of power and money is wicked that he can not consider doing business and retirement.

[Abdirizak-zf]
