Unlike in the past, Raila Odinga’s tour of western Kenya was marked with poor turnout and the reception was not as warm.
In Sabatia and Budalang’i, the home turfs of ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and MP Ababu Namwamba respectively, Raila encountered hostilities from a section of crowds. At one point, scuffles and insults ensued as his supporters and those of his rivals clashed.
