When Raila Odinga made the famous ‘Kibaki Tosha’ pronouncement on October 14, 2002, only weeks to the General Election, he instantly became a darling of Mt Kenya who only days earlier saw him as a rival as he prepared to oppose Mwai Kibaki in the presidential race.

Raila, a distant third in previous polls after Moi and Kibaki was now not only the kingmaker but also the man to beat at the subsequent elections.
