National Legacy and Community Devotion Though mainly known as an political challenger, Odinga assumed the role of senior minister in 2008 and also formed a agreement with Ruto last year in a political journey defined by shifting alliances. He inspired passionate devotion among supporters, notably in his cultural background based in the country's west, many of whom contend he was deprived of the presidency by electoral fraud. Countless of Odinga's followers, who were unborn in 1991 when Kenya established itself as a pluralistic political system, paid tribute to Odinga's work as an campaigner.
