Raila Odinga, born January 7, 1945, died on October 15, 2025, from cardiac arrest in India at age 80, leading to national mourning, a state funeral, and burial beside his father. His family expressed deep thanks in a full-page message to President Ruto, Indian PM Modi, former presidents, and many others for their support during the dignified send-off. Tributes poured in from brother Dr. Oburu Oginga, who called him his 'twin,' Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o praising him as a 'political colossus,' and supporters noting his key roles in the 2010 Constitution and fights against injustice. Amid grief, voices called for unity in ODM to uphold his legacy of equity and reform.
