Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, at a dinner hosted in honour last evening, dismissed grapevine hypotheses attributing his AUC Chairmanship loss to a raft of hollow theories, including but not limited to; his age factor, insufficient financial investment in the shuttle diplomacy, and President Ruto's political motive. While assuring the... delegates present that the AUC Chairmanship race was his personal decision devoid of coercion from any political quarter, he thanked President William Ruto for his indefatigable personal sacrifice, unfaltering logistical support, and unfettered access to all diplomatic missions across African capitals. As a way forward from the events on Saturday, Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga encouraged Kenyans to dust themselves up from mourning his loss and put their foot forward towards focusing on nation-building, reiterating that this is not the time for lamentations, blames games and name calling. Win or lose, the campaign secretariat has no regrets; the candidate is walking with his head tall, as there will be another opportunity for him to serve, and he will always be ready when duty calls. We welcome you back to the motherland, son of the soil. You are our son, in whom we are well pleased.show more

Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, at a dinner hosted in Addis Ababa last evening, expressed his profound gratitude to the Kenyans of all walks of life, who made it to the Ethiopian Capital to stand in solidarity with him. To the team from Mandera who pooled their resources together and hired a fleet of buses for the 23hr road trip across the border, we wish you a safe journey back home, and thank you for your comradeship. We will never forget our devoted allies. We will never abandon our true friends.

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.

Today, our dear nation folds a flag and lowers its head in mourning as we bid final farewell to one of Nigeria’s towering sons, President Muhammadu Buhari. His passing has cast a long shadow across the land, stirring reflections on legacy, sacrifice, and the fleeting nature of power. It is an honour to be present in Daura, to stand shoulder to shoulder with his family, his kinsmen, and the Nigerian people as we commit him to Mother Earth. President Buhari and I often stood on opposite shores of the political river. Yet, death reminds us that what endures is not rivalry but humanity. In his own way, he bore the burden of leadership with unwavering will and served the country he so dearly loved with a sense of purpose shaped by his convictions. I join the Buhari family, the people of Katsina State, and indeed the nation, in mourning this irreparable loss. May the Almighty, in His infinite mercy, forgive his shortcomings, accept his return, and grant him Aljannah Firdaus. Let this moment also remind us all, leaders and citizens alike, that the true measure of life is not in the length of our days, but in the depth of our service and the footprints we leave on the sands of time. Farewell, President Buhari. May the soil of Daura rest gently upon you. -AA

Gladys Wanga, with all due respect, you do not qualify to advise President Uhuru Kenyatta a man who led this country with dignity, order, and respect for the rule of law. We know you and your type very well political orphans, desperately clinging to relevance as 2027 approaches. You stand on shaky ground, not because the people have changed, but because you chose the path of betrayal, hypocrisy, and blind loyalty to power instead of truth. This nation is exhausted. Kenyans are tired of William Ruto tired of the lies, the arrogance, the corruption, and the pain that his regime has inflicted on ordinary citizens. No propaganda can erase hunger. No speech can silence poverty. No sermon can wash away injustice. What this country needs is not noise, not intimidation, but a listening President a leader who feels the pain of the people, not one who dines with oligarchs while citizens sleep hungry. You said our democracy is fragile? No, Governor our democracy is strong because it belongs to the people, not to the state. You and others in power are the ones weakening it through fear, manipulation, and betrayal. That is the same strategy you used to weaken Raila Odinga convincing him to chase positions and handshakes instead of listening to the cries of his people. You isolated him from his base and turned his mission into a personal ambition. That’s not politics that’s sabotage. Uhuru Kenyatta, unlike most of you, is a believer in constitutionalism, democracy, and truth. He knows Ruto better than anyone Ruto was his deputy for 10 long years. He warned us, and we ignored him. Today, as a nation drowning in economic misery and insecurity, we realize he was right. And now we seek his forgiveness because we failed to listen when he tried to save this country from a man driven by greed and vengeance. Gladys Wanga, let me remind you of Chris Msando. Do you remember how he died? Do you remember who was blamed, and how Raila Odinga was told the truth but chose silence for the sake of peace? Raila entered a so-called Broad-Based Government knowing very well the blood of his loyal soldiers cried for justice and yet he bowed to the same system that destroyed them. So don’t lecture us about Uhuru Kenyatta. Don’t tell us he’s the only former president alive when you and your circle are the very reason Raila Odinga’s political soul was killed. His dream of liberating this nation was suffocated by greed, bad advice, and selfish interests. You can defend Ruto all you want but understand this clearly: the people are watching, and in 2027, they will speak loudly. Power returns to the people, and when that time comes, no position, no connection, and no state protection will save anyone who betrayed their trust. The days of political puppetry are ending. Kenya is rising and truth will have the final word.

President William Samoei Ruto, PhD has consistently championed national unity, not just in rhetoric but through deliberate action. His administration's unwavering support for Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga's bid for the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairmanship is a proof to this commitment. In the same spirit, we must rally behind our leaders, whether elected or appointed, across all levels of government, recognizing that collective support strengthens governance and fosters national progress. Moreover, the Government is making strategic investments in education, acknowledging it as the great equalizer and a key driver of socio-economic transformation. By equipping young people with knowledge and skills, we empower communities, create opportunities and build a prosperous nation.

Ossoff: Tonight, I heard a failed president desperately casting about for excuses to meddle in the upcoming election, if he can, or to discredit the result when he loses decisively, as I expect he will. I heard a president who, as his war spirals and as prices keep climbing for families across the country, is, as always, focused on his personal grievances, focused on his personal shame and humiliation, and above all, focused on his personal fear of the accountability that will come when we win this fall. But this is important, folks, and I want you to hear me out when I say this, because I also heard a president clearly signaling his intent to attack these elections and to undermine voting rights.

THE FEAR IS GONE - THE CLOUDS ARE GATHERING: Luo’s have told political conman and thief beyond measure The Raila Odinga Amolo Foundation that it will not be business as usual. His tattered legacy of opportunistic and cannibalistic politics has caught the eye of the nation and the end of his treacherous political dispensation is nigh. Many have been maimed, incarcerated and killed by police in his name yet with no honor or shame, he keeps betraying the cause for his selfish ends. When we started this maandamano, we thought we were getting rid of Ruto but somehow Raila volunteered to go down with him. It’s buy one get one free (BOGOF). He doesn’t deserve the name Baba. He’s a conman whose political career should be buried together with the current crop of ruling elites. #RutoMustGo

Martha Karua: If you listen to Dr. William Ruto, you would think that he and the late Raila Odinga shared a lot in common but absolutely not, because he stands for something totally different. Even the choreographed group from within ODM, who were only singing praises of the union with the State, seemed to forget that they were at a funeral. Was it a ceremony to endorse the union between ODM and Dr. Ruto or was it the burial of the Right Hon. Raila Odinga? They were trying to make political capital out of it and that is why there was no room for divergent opinions. They could have allowed one or two members from the opposition side to speak. It would also have made sense to give me time to speak as his running mate.

For the last three months, Raila Odinga has been using matatu from his home to town and back to understand the struggles of Kenyans but he has not been disturbing us with pictures the way Rigathi Gachagua does when he walks two steps from the parking to his office. This leaked video and picture of Raila going to town today using a matatu is just an example of what usually happens every day. Don't be surprised if Kenya Kwanza copies him.

Willis Otieno: Our problem as a country started when William Ruto put his personal interests over national interests. William Ruto saw this as an opportunity to pursue personal interests, and the personal interest was that if Raila were to win in the AU he would be able to bring himself to get his local political support base. I do believe that if Raila were declared the winner, William Ruto’s presidential jet would have landed at Kisumu Airport, he would have done a rally at Kondele to just create a national wave that would help him gain that constituency #CitizenMondayReport Trevor Ombija, HSC

Good Afternoon Team, As we Embark on this year’s journey, I Hope this Pertinent Message finds each of you Energized and Ready for the challenges ahead. First Things First, I must address a matter of significant concern that requires our Immediate Attention. It has become Unequivocally clear that the upcoming Mombasa’s Grassroots Elections have been compromised and Hence, it is quite unfortunate that #TeamMohamedAli will not be taking any Part in them. The SG’s Blatant interference, his Evident Handpicking of Officials to manipulate the outcome, represents nothing but a profound Conflict of Interest. His tendency to Micromanage the Party, prioritizing his Personal Political interests over the Will of the People, is not only Unacceptable but a Grave Disservice to the Citizens of Mombasa. Despite this Disheartening Development, I want to ASSURE you all as my Avid & Loyal Supporters that We will not be Deterred nor Fazed. When the right moment comes and the Rubber hits the Road, We Will confront this head-on. UDA, like any Political Party, belongs to the People, not to any single individual, regardless of their position. If he persists in treating the Party as his Personal Property, WE will be left with No choice but to Decamp as One. After all, We are for The People and our Allegiance will Always remain Steadfastly with The People.

As you are aware, Your Excellency, South Africans are today mourning the passing of our former Deputy President David Dabede Mabuza. He served as the Deputy President of the Republic from 2018 to 2023 and before that as Premier of the province of Mpumalanga. It is appropriate that we pay tribute to him on this occasion, both for his contribution to the development of our democracy and to the quest for peace and stability on the African continent. He was deeply committed to the cause of the South African people and to building bonds of friendship and cooperation with peoples from across the world.

Raila Odinga. Of all the senior officials of ODM, no one stayed longer with Raila than I. From the time I was a student in 1992 to the time he departed, I was very close to him. In terms of party leadership and party management, allowing me to chair his party for 11 years is not a mean feat. During that time, there was a lot we shared #JKLive

H.E. The Raila Odinga Amolo Foundation has always stood for something greater than himself - service, integrity, and the relentless pursuit of a better future for Kenya and Africa. While the outcome of the AU Commission Chairmanship bid is not what we had hoped for, it does not diminish the impact of his leadership or the respect he commands across the continent. This was not just about a position; it was about a vision for Africa’s unity, progress, and prosperity. Baba’s legacy continues to inspire, and his influence remains as powerful as ever. We hold our heads high, knowing that his contribution to Africa is far from over. The journey does not end here - it only takes a new direction. We remain steadfast in our loyalty, our belief, and our hope. Africa still needs Baba, and Kenya stands with him.

We thank Azimio TV for publishing this declassified video from the 2007 presidential elections campaign. In 2027, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
