Can Kenya preserve the democratic space Raila Odinga fought for?

As Kenya marks the first anniversary of Raila Odinga's death on Thursday, the former prime minister remains a towering figure in the country. For many, he symbolizes the struggle for multiparty democracy and constitutional reforms in Kenya . For others, his later political alliances raise questions about compromise, opposition politics and the direction of the movement he built. The question is not only how the country remembers Odinga — but whether the principles he championed can survive. "I want his legacy to live beyond the party," 20-year-old Nairobi resident Beatrice Chebet told DW. Chebet said Odinga wanted a Kenya grounded in peace, democracy, constitutionalism and the rule of law.
