Can Nyanza politics survive without Raila?

Following the push by some leaders from Nyanza province to have CORD leader Raila Odinga vie for Homabay senatorial seat, a lot is expected to happen.  With the political power he has been enjoying over the years, this maybe the last decision he has to consider. All the same he has what it takes to win the seat given that he has great support from the Luo community.

His status demands that he maintains and always display leadership qualities.  Unfortunately, he might lose in the election. Furthermore he is not a registered voter in the area and this may not work well for him. This may bar him from vying and opening a forum for his critics. So as to save him from shame and disgrace he should at all costs drop the idea.
