Raila Odinga has announced that he will not be very active in Kenyan politics moving forward.
Speaking on Wednesday, August 21, during a joint media briefing with Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, the former premier said he would be focusing his attention on his African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson campaign.
Odinga noted that it will be a transitional phase from active participation in Kenyan politics and moving to African continental politics.
“At the moment, I am involved in the campaigns but that does not mean that Kenya ceases to exist. I am not going to be very active in Kenyan politics henceforth, as I continue to focus my attention on the continental campaign.
“It is a transitional phase from active participation in Kenyans to moving towards African continental politics,” Raila remarked.
