Politics

The Luo political base in Kenya, historically centered in Nyanza region (Lake Victoria basin), is a significant force, traditionally aligned with Raila Odinga’s ODM but now seeing internal succession battles for leadership, with figures like Gladys Wanga, Opiyo Wandayi, and Babu Owino emerging as contenders, while community elders advocate for strategic alliances, like working with the current government for development, amidst efforts to redefine their role in national politics beyond just being a swing vote.
