Who Could Be the Next Luo Political Kingpin After Raila Odinga?

 The landscape of Kenyan politics is dynamic and ever-changing. Raila Odinga's influence has been long-lasting, but political power in Kenya is not hereditary. As Raila ages and the political scene evolves, new leaders emerge, and the Luo community is no exception.

Several Luo politicians have been considered as potential contenders for the position of Luo kingpin.

Babu Owino:


Babu Owino, whose real name is Paul Ongili, is a Member of Parliament representing Embakasi East constituency. He's known for his vocal advocacy on various issues, especially those affecting youth. Owino's popularity among the youth and his energetic approach to politics make him a significant figure in Luo politics.

James Orengo: 

A seasoned lawyer and politician, Orengo has been a key ally of Raila Odinga. He has consistently championed democratic principles and human rights. His long-standing presence in Kenyan politics makes him a possible successor to Raila's legacy..

Opiyo Wandayi: 

Opiyo Wandayi, the Member of Parliament for Ugunja constituency, has been an ardent supporter of Raila Odinga and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). His consistent presence in Kenyan politics and commitment to ODM's ideals could position him as a potential leader within the Luo community.

Tom Ojienda:

Prof. Tom Ojienda is a respected lawyer and academic. His legal expertise and advocacy for social justice align with the values of many Luo politicians. Ojienda's influence extends beyond politics and into the legal and academic spheres.

Miguna Miguna:

Miguna Miguna is a firebrand lawyer and political commentator who has been an outspoken critic of the Kenyan political establishment. While his confrontational approach may not appeal to everyone, Miguna has a significant following and could be a polarizing yet influential figure in Luo politics.

The journey to becoming the next Luo kingpin will not be without challenges. Luo politics, like any other, can be polarizing, and the next leader will need to navigate a complex political landscape while maintaining unity within the community
