Fashion time: Another arrow in the quiver of politicians

For the two leading presidential candidates, Raila Odinga and William Ruto, the youth vote seems to be their biggest target, if their fashion choices are anything to go by. Polo shirts and trendy sneakers are their go-to fashion choices.

In a meeting with young people from the Mount Kenya region last October, Raila wore a white short-sleeved polo T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and a navy-blue puffer jacket. A white fedora hat crowned his attire.

And for his 77th birthday this year, the Azimio party leader had on a pair of black Air Max Nike shoes that he said would help him run faster to win the elections this year.
