Raila Junior Installed as Odinga Family Head; Eric Omondi Pays Respects - October 2025

Following the burial of former Prime Minister Raila Amollo Odinga, his son Raila Junior was formally installed as the new head of the Odinga family in a traditional Luo ceremony. This ritual signifies a generational transition within the political dynasty. Separately, comedian Eric Omondi paid an emotional visit to the widow, Mama Ida Odinga, at her residence on Thursday, October 23, 2025. Omondi then traveled to Kang’o ka Jaramogi in Bondo, Siaya County, to pay a silent tribute at Raila’s grave. In another development, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNHCR) warned of legal action against individuals who mocked Raila Odinga Jr.'s appearance on social media. The commission specifically cited trolling on TikTok that targeted his facial paralysis.
