10170841-1020158881855006.jpg Both the Cord and Jubilee leadership admitt that the absence of Raila has created a “huge political vacuum Raila Odinga is a Pan-Africanist,a great politician as well as household name. His absence in the political arena is not only missed by Cord but even his competitors in the Jubilee Alliance. Everyone misses him but it was important he takes the rest and do other meaningful things in the US which include mentoring the young leaders as he has been doing," said ODM media officer Philip Etale We are feeling the effects of his absence in the Kenya politics. His absence breaks consultations. He has left a huge vacuum in the space he has been occupying. The country is too quiet and I am appealing to him to come back as soon as possible," Suna East MP Junet Mohamed said.
