The Raila Odinga of 2022 is not in any form, disposition and mannerism the Raila of 2013 or 2017.
Nowadays, whenever the opposition leader appears in public, he uncharacteristically wears a woebegone look. Gone is the cheerful Raila who radiated with humour, regaled jubilant crowds with parables and sported a sphinx-like smile on his face.
There's no longer the swinging and the swag, the dancing in a squat position and the head bobbing, nor the overuse of the hands, especially the left, which he mostly used to make a point or hold a handkerchief to wipe tears from his ailing left eye.
