In December 2007, as an election enthusiast, I travelled to Nairobi to witness the final days of one of Kenya’s most fiercely contested elections.
I attended several rallies, but none were as electric as those of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), especially when its candidate, Raila Odinga, took the stage and launched into his signature dance - simple, rhythmic steps that sent his loyal supporters into a joyful trance.
