Political Impact and Community Devotion Although primarily recognized as an political challenger, Odinga became prime minister in 2008 and also established a political pact with the president last year in a political journey characterized by changing partnerships. He inspired passionate devotion among supporters, especially in his cultural background based in the nation's western region, many of whom contend he was deprived of the nation's leadership by vote manipulation. Many of Odinga's mourners, who were unborn in 1991 when Kenya established itself as a pluralistic political system, expressed respect to Odinga's efforts as an activist.
