The similarities between Raila Odinga and UK's Jeremy Corbyn

CORD political kingpin Raila Amollo Odinga will be gunning for the presidency on the opposition ticket come 2017, although we don't know what the outcome of negotiations with Musalia Mudavadi of the Amani national congress might be.

This would be the umpteenth time Mr. Odinga will be staking his luck on the most prized trinket of all, the presidency of Kenya. The indefatigable Raila, who seems to be firing on all cylinders just when political pundits are keen to write him off, has a striking resemblance to another politician miles and miles away from Kenya.
