A significant oversight gap has emerged in Kenya as former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has aligned with President William Ruto's government, traditionally a role of the opposition leader. This shift has prompted various other actors to step in and fill the void, ensuring accountability from the ruling Kenya Kwanza administration.

• The oversight role, traditionally filled by the opposition leader, is now being undertaken by a diverse group of actors including Kenya's vibrant youth, political players, the clergy, and civil society groups.
• The main individual whose change in political stance created this gap is former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
• This development highlights the dynamic nature of Kenyan politics, with multiple groups actively engaging to hold the government accountable in the absence of a consolidated opposition front.
