Today one month ago, Kenya lost its son.

R. I . P Raila Amollo Odinga, CGH.

[Cde, @davidjesse_]

ODM supporting Ruto’s re-election does not mean the party has abandoned its pro-people philosophy.

Far from it. It reflects a sober reassessment of Kenya’s political realities and a recognition that the old model of permanent confrontation has not delivered power, or the reforms ODM has fought for.

Jaramogi tried confrontational politics; it did not yield national leadership.

Raila tried it for decades, with unmatched courage and sacrifice; it still did not bring the presidency home.

After twenty years, ODM must be honest with itself, confrontation alone has not worked.

Aligning with Ruto is not an ideological, it is a strategic & pragmatic recalibration.

ODM is not shelving its pro-people agenda.

We are choosing a different route to advance it one grounded in pragmatism and the understanding that power is ultimately secured through strategy, not struggle for its own sake.

More than 600 MILLION people in Sub-Saharan Africa will join the working-age population over the next 25 years — the largest and fastest demographic shift in recent history!!! Only 24% of its new workers today land wage-paying jobs.
