Finally, Raila Odinga has taken oath of office as the "peoples’ president” and formally sealed his support base. In politics, where power is measured in large motorcades, insane display of military hardware, fanfare, it might be hard for Raila's supporters to realize how much their numbers during the January 30 event meant.
However, the consequences for Raila’s swearing-in will be felt in the country’s future politics. It paints a bleak future for his co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetang'ula and Musalia Mudavadi.
