Kenya’s President William Ruto (left) with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, whose political pact continues to shape the country’s governance landscape.
Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga is, in some political quarters, seen as the guarantor of President William Ruto’s administration after his support helped defuse the Gen Z protests that shook the country in June last year.
Since then, Odinga’s influence within the administration has grown, with the President handing several key public service appointments in his so-called Broad-Based Government to individuals affiliated with the former premier’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
