Raila Amolo Odinga was a Kenyan politician who represented Langata constituency in the National Assembly from 1992 to 2013, including his time in the 9th Parliament under the National Rainbow Coalition banner. He served as Kenya's Prime Minister from 2008 to 2013, one of the most prominent roles of a career spanning more than two decades in Parliament. He later led the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party and stood for the presidency five times without success, alleging electoral fraud on each occasion. His decades-long tenure as Langata's MP and his time as premier made him one of the defining figures of modern Kenyan politics.
