Lead image for Raila Junior out to inherit his late father's Nairobi political base.
Raila Odinga Junior, the son of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, has pledged to anchor his political career in Nairobi County as he seeks to inherit his father's political strongholds.
Raila Junior has appealed to the communities that formed the backbone of his father's political support over the years to rally behind him as he embarks on his political journey.
For some time now, he has been meeting various groups of residents at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation offices, which also house the offices of his late father and grandfather, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.

Last week, he hosted residents and community groups from Kibra Constituency, which his father represented in Parliament for more than 20 years.
"Kibra is home to people from all communities, and they should not be divided along ethnic lines. I have listened to them, and I will begin visiting them soon," Raila Junior said, as some residents urged him to contest the Kibra parliamentary seat.
There have also been calls for Raila Junior to vie for the Embakasi South parliamentary seat, where he has also received a warm reception from various community groups.
