Raila Odinga has been immersed in Kenyan politics for so long that any political decision he makes or any political direction he takes remains immensely familiar to both his followers and opponents.

He has walked these steps before with the weight of his legal arguments and evidence, this time kept in dozens of cardboard boxes representing the last hope for his presidency and for, according to his followers, the last line of defense for democracy.
