The Raila Conspiracy: The Secrets Behind Denying Him...

Raila Amollo Odinga is one of the most idolized names in the politics of our times. The former prime minister enjoys a cultic following that has brought him admiration and hate in equal measure. He is recognized for his constant agitation for the political emancipation of the masses and enduring the onslaught of oppression and struggle under regimes that worshipped impunity. His posture has rubbed the powerful elites the wrong way and has set in motion a denigrated flurry of boardroom games aimed at locking him out of top leadership in Kenya. Whether he is in the seat of power or operating behind the scenes, he attracts irrational attention from his lovers and detractors. In the Raila Conspiracy, Babior Newton delineates Raila’s political struggles and exposes the syndicate plots and conspiracies of the powerful political elites and hardliners. This book unravels secret games and counter-games played by power elites in Kenyan presidential succession.
