Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga Dies in India
Raila Amolo Odinga, Kenya’s former Prime Minister, has passed away at the age of 80 while undergoing treatment in Kerala, India. Reports state that Odinga collapsed during his morning walk in Koothattukulam and was rushed to Devamatha Hospital at the Sreedhareeyam facility, where medical staff were unable to revive him.
He had arrived in Koothattukulam six days earlier for medical care and was accompanied by his daughter and close relatives during his final days. Kenya and India embassies are coordinating the repatriation of his remains.
A towering figure in Kenyan politics, Odinga served as Prime Minister from 2008 to 2013. He long held the post of Leader of the Opposition, and between 1992 and 2013, he was a member of Parliament representing the Lang’ata constituency. Over his career, he contested Kenya’s presidency five times but never succeeded.
