About Baba Raila Odinga’s campaign, and why I was deeply convinced that he was best suited to head the African Union Commission (AUC). What the campaign meant for him, for me and for the continent…

Those who are wishing for Baba Raila Odinga to fail the AUC elections, do not know what they are asking for. You do not want Raila back in the campaign trail. You do not want him back at the center of Kenyan politics. If he supports Ruto which I know he will it will be game over. Raila is king of the campaign trails. The campaign is his life, he knows no other. Woo unto you if Raila is campaigning against you. Blessed are you that Raila campaigns for. You want to beat Ruto? Pray that Raila wins.

My interview with Rich Doty drops Fri. This was a tough one for me—I’m deeply invested in the Paul Bennewitz story and the disinformation campaign against him and Linda Moulton Howe. I firmly believe reparations should be paid for what they endured. #ufotwitter

Bash: This speech was exactly what the Harris campaign hoped for. It was the contrast that they’ve been trying to make. She reminded people why they don’t like Trump and talked about what she wants to do to help people

Rigathi Gachagua: I negotiated for 8 positions in a cabinet of 22. I negotiated with the President because of the vote I was bringing in; it was up to him to make the decision. He is the appointing authority. When Raila came, he negotiated for 4 positions for him to support William Ruto. When Ruto sought the support of Raila, he came and demanded cabinet positions and 11 PSs and he was given. Even us to give Ruto support, we demanded certain things. I was a tough negotiator and why people thought I was tribal or too much is because I was insisting on getting what I negotiated for and I was being short-changed #CitizenExplainer

Kenya's President, William Ruto, warns that the African Union #AU is "not fit for purpose" and cannot steer the "continent into the future". “I can tell you without an iota of doubt that the African Union, as it is today, is not fit to provide the leadership that this continent needs going into the future. Therefore, there's need for the reforms of the African Union”.

The fact that Ford is even in a campaign bus right now is insane. But if he wants a campaign, we’ll give him a campaign. And it won’t be the one he was looking for. I will make sure his record follows him around at each and every stop.

Baba Raila Amolo Odinga has every right to ignore these fools who called him names and told him that he is the problem. Baba has sacrificed for Kenya. Kenya MUST now sacrifice its interests for Baba The Raila Odinga Amolo Foundation

#BREAKING: Lawrence: “… so, Donald Trump is asked if he’s losing control of the Senate and his answer is I don’t know. So that means Donald Trump KNOWS he has completely lost control of the Republican Senate. And then he says, I don’t need money…for the ballroom. Remember when he said when he was first running for president in 2015…he promised he would not ask for a single campaign contribution because he was so rich, he would pay for his campaign himself, and he was collecting…contributions for his campaign the NEXT WEEK after that lie? I don’t need money, was Donald Trump’s lie of the day.”😂😳

Raila Odinga, alias "Baba Wa Africa," has tirelessly advocated for African unity, regional integration & the harnessing of Africa's resources for global influence. His Pan-Africanist vision aligns with the goals of the AUC, making him the ideal choice for Chairperson. #RAOForAUC ✔️ The Raila Odinga Amolo Foundation

I have seen some people circulating a 2017 screenshot, claiming that I am lying and pretending when I say that Baba was my friend and that I was like his daughter. In 2017, we were on different political sides. Like in any heated political contest, many things were said in the course of political banter, something both Baba and Uhuru openly acknowledged and apologised for, including on behalf of their supporters. From November 2018, I began working closely with Baba, shortly after his appointment as AU’s High Representative for Infrastructure Development. At the time, I was with the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), and our office supported his role. I was also part of his 2022 campaign, and in 2024 he personally appointed me into his AUC campaign team. Over a period of 7 years, I had the privilege of learning directly from him. He gave me numerous opportunities, travelled with me across Africa and beyond, and allowed me to sit in high-level meetings that shaped my perspective and growth. That was Baba! A man who never judged me by my tribe or my previous political positions. He saw my potential and gave me an opportunity. He often expressed how proud he was of my work and my convictions. The last time we spoke was on 8th October 2025, while he was still in India, a week before he passed on. I even made a post about that conversation on the same day. That was Baba…my friend! So, to those trying to twist this story to fit a convenient political narrative I will ask, WHO TOLD YOU? Do you claim to know me better than Baba did? And isn’t the same Ruto you now support the one who once called Baba all manner of names? Did he ever publicly apologise the way Baba and Uhuru did? What exactly explains this selective memory, this hypocrisy and these double standards? All in all, yesterday I was in Kisumu, and was so overwhelmed by the love that was expressed. On the way to the rally, so many young people kept calling me by name and saying how much they love me for supporting Baba. Others were even calling me msichana ya Baba. This is the real ground!
