For decades, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has been the doyen of Kenyan opposition politics.
The bane of authoritarian regimes, he is venerated as a champion of the underdog. He has put his near-cultic following to good use, launching successive bids for the presidency. All his five attempts have come a cropper.
Not for the first time, Raila has disputed last year's presidential elections. He claims the incumbent, William Ruto, won the presidency by sleight of hand. He now advises his followers not to recognise Ruto's presidency saying, "We don't recognise Mr William Ruto as President of Kenya and we equally don't recognise any officials in office with him."
