Africa-Press – Kenya. Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has landed in Kisumu to condole with the family of the late Raila Odinga.
The Wiper Party Leader said he will visit Mama Ida Odinga on Thursday, November 6, at their home in Opoda Farm to mourn Raila.
Speaking when he landed in Kisumu, Kalonzo said Raila was more than a political ally and would continue to honour his legacy.
“I’m here to see Mama Ida Odinga tomorrow at Opoda Farm and to continue mourning with them, the loss of our brother. Raila Amolo Odinga was more than a political ally; he was a brother and a friend,” Kalonzo said.
“We honour the legacy of a patriot who gave everything for his country and his people.”
Azimio leaders, including Martha Karua, Eugene Wamalwa, and Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong’o, have visited to lay wreaths and comfort the family.
Residents have also continued to walk to the homestead, many arriving in small groups to offer prayers and condolences.
Kalonzo’s visit adds to the ongoing show of solidarity with the Odinga family, as leaders and supporters continue to honour Raila’s legacy in Kenyan politics.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja are among the leaders who visited Mama Ida to condole with the family.
Karua on Monday paid a heartfelt tribute to the late former Prime Minister Raila. She visited his final resting place at Kang’o Ka Jaramogi in Bondo, Siaya County, and laid a wreath in his honour.
Karua, who was Raila’s running mate in the 2022 general election, described the visit as a moment of reflection and renewal of commitment to the ideals they both championed during Kenya’s long struggle for democracy.
“I came here in honour of my comrade and brother in the long march for Kenya’s liberation,” Karua said. “We fought shoulder to shoulder for democracy and justice — sometimes from different camps, but always for the same cause: the freedom and dignity of our people.”
Accompanied by former Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu, PLP Secretary-General Asha Bashir, and several women political leaders, Karua said the journey she shared with Raila was one defined by courage, conviction, and sacrifice.
“I reaffirm my commitment to the unfinished dream we shared of a Kenya anchored in truth, integrity, and freedom,” she stated. “Rest well, Kinara. We will carry the torch forward.”
Mama Ida Odinga, who has been at the centre of the family’s political and social life for decades, received the leaders at the Odinga homestead.
The delegation spent time with her before proceeding to the gravesite, where they sang liberation songs, offered prayers, and reflected on Raila’s enduring influence on Kenya’s political landscape.
