Women ululated, men removed caps, pastors blessed, politicians clapped and children stared,that’s how Raila was received in Central Kenya today.The burial of former Nyeri Governor Nderitu Gachagua is underway but there is one man who has stolen the show,Raila Amolo Odinga.
Straight from Nigeria,Raila represented himself at Gachagua’s burial. Contrary to the believe that women could throw shoes and men to throw stones, the enigma received thunderous reception. Below are photos of Raila’s triumphant entry into Kikuyu dominated county.
President Kenyatta was seen shaking his head as Raila walked majestically towards his reserved seat as the crowd thunderously cheered.Other Jubilee leaders were equally heart broken to see an opponent receiving heroic reception from people who could switch televisions whenever he spoke.
A week ago,the opposition leader was in Meru for his presidential campaigns.The reception he received at the county forced Jubilee to plan for a tour to overturn his gains.But this time around,it’s highly unlikely that the Meru would vote in the same basket as their cousins,Kikuyu.
