Political Heritage and Community Devotion Although primarily recognized as an government critic, Odinga served as head of government in 2008 and also established a alliance with the president last year in a political journey defined by evolving coalitions. He generated strong loyalty among followers, notably in his Luo community based in the country's west, many of whom maintain he was denied the nation's leadership by election irregularities. Many of Odinga's supporters, who were unborn in 1991 when Kenya transitioned to a pluralistic political system, paid tribute to Odinga's work as an activist.
