What you need to know:

  • That both Jaramogi and Raila have held sway within the community is not in doubt.

  • While the death of Jaramogi could have ended Odingaism – if indeed it was a personality cult – it didn’t.

  • The rise of Raila, as inheritor of the throne, was expected.

Raila Odinga will not run again for president unless the Supreme Court demands a presidential election re-run.

He has said as much in an interview with a British newspaper Financial Times.
