Profile: Raila Amollo Odinga
What you need to know:
Raila evokes mixed emotions at once— love and hate, admiration and fear.
The late Michael Kijana Wamalwa described Mr Odinga's supporters as suffering from 'Railamania' and those who hated him as suffering from 'Railaphobia'.
Raila Odinga, the enigmatic son of Kenya’s first Vice-President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, is the current Opposition leader.
His experience in the political scene has earned him a host of nicknames including Tinga, Agwambo, Baba and Jakom.
This year's presidential bid is his fourth and, most likely, his last.
