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.

Why Ruto will heavily rely on Mudavadi, Joho in his reelection bid

 When Kenya president William Ruto was almost overwhelmed with gen z revolt, his landmark decision was to dismiss the entire cabinet. This occurred immediately after his refusal to sign the Finance Bill 2024/2025. Ruto endeavored to reconstitute a new cabinet, dubbed broad-based executive. He incorporated key opposition figures drawn from the ODM Party - a move that appeased the doyen of opposition Raila Amollo Odinga. Cabinet Secretaries drawn from ODM included: Hassan Ali Joho, Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya, John Mbadi Ng'onga and James Opiyo Wandayi. ODM is as good as dead, and Raila's age factor limits him from flying the Party's presidential flag again and has opted out by contesting as Africa Union Commission (AUC) chairman.
