Raila Junior declares that he will run for MP in 2027 polls Politics 19 min ago

The meeting comes at a time when the Odinga family is increasingly stepping back into frontline politics following Raila’s death, with both Raila Junior and his sister, Winnie Odinga, now positioning themselves for elective office.

As the family of the late Prime Minister Raila Odinga prepares to hand over the site for his mausoleum to the government on Monday, his son, Raila Odinga Junior, has confirmed he is laying the groundwork for a bid for the Embakasi South parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Election.

Raila Junior, who assumed the role of head of the Odinga family following his father's death, said he continues to rely on Dr Oburu for guidance on both family and political matters.
