Raila Odinga has declared himself to be the people's president" at a controversial "swearing-in" ceremony in the capital.
Thousands of his supporters attended the event, despite a government warning that it amounted to treason. The authorities shut down TV stations to prevent live coverage of the event.
President Uhuru Kenyatta was sworn in for a second term last November. He won an election re-run in October, but Mr Odinga boycotted it.
Elections were first held in August but the courts ordered a re-run, saying Mr Kenyatta's victory was marred by irregularities.

Obama needs to go home. It looks like they are in need of some community organizing.

I was loosely following this and if I got it right Odinga and his henchmen got caught red handed stealing ballots in rural areas and tried to claim victory, but the Kenya legislature blocked his inauguration. Odinga has stated that he plans to get in power and throw out the constitution and declare himself dictator for life.
To: KTM rider
The legislature should demand to see Odinga’s LFBC; they’ll find he was born in Hawaii.

Obama has a relative there named Odinga. I’d bet it’s the same thug.
