Ruto Proposes Renaming Kisumu Airport and Talanta Stadium for Raila Odinga

Ruto announced talks with Kisumu leaders to rename Kisumu International Airport after Odinga, who passed away in October 2025 at age 80.

He also confirmed Nairobi’s 60,000-seat Talanta Stadium along Ngong Road will become Raila Odinga International Stadium upon completion, potentially hosting matches soon.

These gestures honor Odinga’s statesman legacy and shared Arsenal fandom, amid plans for a mausoleum and Africa Cup of Nations prep.
