What you need to know:

  • Mr Okanga has been in the political spotlight during anti-government demonstrations organised by the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition when he made scathing remarks about President William Ruto and his administration.
  • On Monday, Mr Okanga joined other candidates sitting for the examination at Mumias Muslim Primary School in Kakamega County as a private candidate.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga's diehard fan and 'barking dog', Nuru Okanga, is among the 1.43 million candidates sitting for the last batch of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exam.

This year's KCPE exam has attracted the highest number of candidates after the government allowed unregistered candidates to sit for the exam, which ends the 8-4-4 education system.
