Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga has passed away at the age of 80 in India, as confirmed by Indian police. The incident occurred while he was on a walk with family members in Kerala. Despite efforts to revive him, he was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Odinga collapsed during a morning walk and was rushed to the hospital after experiencing breathing difficulties. He was a prominent figure in Kenyan politics, known for his long-standing fight for democracy. He faced multiple presidential defeats, often alleging electoral fraud.
Born on January 7, 1945, Odinga entered parliament in 1992 and ran for the presidency several times. His death marks a significant loss for Kenya, as he was a key player in the country’s political landscape.
