Here is a list of Raila Odinga 5 most trusted allies

The only magic towards attracting Raila’s confidence is through consistent support. Those who have wavered in supporting him have lost the trust bestowed upon them.

Raila Odinga’s favored friends

  1. Junet Mohamed: The Suna East law maker is purportedly the most trusted political ally of Raila. Junet was the only ODM member who accompanied the Party Leader during the much hyped handshake, alongside Raila’s daughter Winnie. Most of Raila’s friends, including Orengo, were not aware of the handshake until the news was publicized. Junet is the current National Assembly minority whip courtesy of ODM.

  2. Ali Hassan Joho: He is the most loyal supporter of Raila Odinga. He recently shelved his presidential ambitions and has started campaigning for Raila. He hosted the opposition leader after the infamous ‘swearing in’ at Uhuru Park. 

  3. SK Macharia: The proprietor of Royal Media SK Macharia has shown his open support to Raila’s quest for presidency for a long time. Macharia was among those who attended Raila’s event at Villa Rosa Kempiski where he was honored for his contribution to democracy.

  4. Gladys Wanga: The Homa Bay County women representative is perhaps one of the key figures in Raila’s inner circle. She is among the few who always accompany Raila in various fora, and even given chance to speak.

  5. TJ Kajwang’: The Ruaraka legislator is among the list of Raila’s trusted allies. Kajwang’ just as his late brother Otieno Kajwang’ is a political comedian with an instinct to entertain people in a gathering. Owing to his public theatrics, he is among the notable figures who accompany Raila in various public rallies. Kajwang alongside Miguna Miguna took part in the illegal swearing in of Raila and was charged with treason. However, the case was thrashed by the courts.

Kenyans surprised over UDA's 'Voters Repair' remarks for President Ruto 2027 reelection

 Kenyans are reacting strongly to remarks by some UDA leaders that many interpret as hints at election manipulation ("ukarabati ya kura" / "voters repair") ahead of the 2027 presidential election. What Happened On or around May 23, 2026, NTV Kenya and other outlets aired footage from a UDA meeting at Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula's home.  Leaders including Savula and MP Charles Gimose reportedly used phrases like "tutafanya ukarabati ya kura" (we will repair/do maintenance on the votes).  Some comments referenced high victory margins in places like Tanzania under Samia Suluhu or Museveni-style wins. This has been widely seen as implying plans to "fix" or pad results in favor of President William Ruto's reelection, rather than a literal call for better voter registration or system maintenance. Public Reaction 1. Surprise and outrage: Many Kenyans on X and social media expressed shock, viewing it as arrogant or desperate signaling am...
