The reason why politics of Luo Nyanza revolve around the Odingas, is because of Railas steadfastness and consistency in his idea of a liberated Kenya and equal opportunity for all. Recorded history shows circumstances that united not only the Luos, but the whole region. Raila trumps in uniting Kenyans.
1969 Kisumu massacre is the backbone...Luo's paid for that unity with their blood, after the founding father of Kenya Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and Jaramogi Oginga Odinga differed and police opened fire on the people of Kisumu.
Many people have tried to dethrone Raila as the Nyanza kingpin but they have failed terribly. Dalmus Otieno is currently trying to sway the Nyanza votes towards Jubilee government but he will go downhill for sure. Raphael Tuju had been there before and now no one even remembers him.
Dalmus Otieno is like a goat that goes to the riverside to drink water and starts playing with young crocodiles...
By joining Uhuru to scuttle Raila's vote base, it means that Dalmus wants to take Raila’s position in politics but he will fail again and Raila will always shine.
