Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga has died at the age of 80, family sources have told the BBC.

Odinga died on Wednesday while receiving medical treatment at a hospital in India.

In recent weeks, there has been speculation about his health, although family members and political allies had dismissed reports suggesting he was critically ill.

A political mobiliser and towering figure in Kenyan politics, Odinga ran unsuccessfully for the presidency five times. He rejected the results on each occasion, often saying that victory had been stolen from him.

Atiku comes to mind

Seun add the remaining character

He died receiving treatment in ANOTHER COUNTRY.

Why can African leaders make their own hospitals better instead of traveling for medical attention?

He won the election, but was rigged out... And his followers followed up with endless protest against the government which culminated to the government creating the office of the prime minister and selected him to man the position in a bid to quell endless bloody and destructive protests....

That was how he became a PM

Raila Odinga the computer virus

RIP
Dude wasn't destined to be a President. Even after getting the backing of Kenyatta in the last election he still couldn't get the top job after 7 tries..
