The clamour for multi-party democracy in the early 1990s was hailed as the dawn of a new era, one marked by transformation, open and competitive governance founded on the principles of pluralism. It promised citizens a broad spectrum of political choices.

This transformative journey was spearheaded by numerous prominent Kenyan figures, with many Luo leaders leading the charge for multi-party democracy. Ironically, those who ardently championed multi-party democracy are yet to fully reap its benefits. For years, the Odinga-led political entities have maintained a near-monopoly on political power in Luo Nyanza until the recent resurgence of the UDA party that is shaking the status quo.
