Raila Amollo Odinga, who has died at the age of 80, was something of a paradox in post-independence Kenyan politics.
A leader who repeatedly ran for president, he never won – in part due to the 2007 election being manipulated in favour of Mwai Kibaki. Despite this, Odinga will be remembered as a figure who profoundly shaped the country’s politics as much as any president.
