Hundreds of Gor Mahia fans from across the country gathered at the Kisumu Sports Ground before setting off for Kang’o Ka Jaramogi in Bondo to pay their last respects to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga at his graveside.
Wearing their green Gor Mahia jerseys, the supporters were energized and eager for the trip to Siaya. They carried placards, vuvuzelas, horns and drums, turning the ground into a lively scene.
The fans danced and sang as they celebrated Raila, describing the journey as a tribute to a man they view as part of the club’s history and identity.

Leaders from across the political divide have continued to stream into Siaya to pay their last respects, underscoring the depth of his influence and the mark Raila left on Kenya’s political landscape.

A host of Kenyan leaders, including Cabinet Secretaries and international leaders have paid homage at his final resting place.
The steady flow of delegations has turned his rural home into a national pilgrimage point, with senior politicians, diplomats, clergy and thousands of citizens making the journey.
Their presence has reflected the sense of loss felt far beyond ODM or Azimio, cutting across party lines and regional loyalties.

Some leaders have framed their visit as a personal farewell, calling Raila a mentor, a statesman and a symbol of sacrifice for democratic reforms.
Others have spoken about the political vacuum created by his death and the need for unity during a fragile moment for the country.
There is a sober tone in Siaya, a mix of grief and reflection, as many acknowledge that Raila’s role in shaping national politics cannot be replicated.
