Grief quickly turned to anger and defiance at the Karen residence of Raila Odinga following news of his passing, as mourners shifted from sorrow to politically charged chants.

• Hundreds of supporters, many waving ODM party colors and portraits of Odinga, expressed fury with chants like “Ruto must go!” and “No Raila, no peace!”.
• Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga appealed for peace, while Mama Ida Odinga's brief appearance brought a wave of sorrow.
• Earlier, President William Ruto, accompanied by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, had visited to condole with the family.
