A visit to Kisii on Sunday left a rotten egg in the face of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga.

Restless crowds walked out on Mr Odinga, leaving nearly an empty stadium to him and pockets of other leaders that had turned up.

There was even more drama as those that remained loudly jeered, drowning Mr Odinga's speech.

The ODM leader was defending the new power sharing deal with Presidential William Ruto government when hell broke loose.

Mr Odinga was in Kisii as the chief guest at a function where Shabana FC was unveiling its new kits under their new sponsor Sportpesa.

Unfazed, Mr Odinga struggled through to defend his new dalliance with Dr Ruto, saying it was for the better interests of the country.

"I wanted to unite all Kenyans and I do not mind critics making noise," defiant Mr Odinga said.

The drama unfolded before the host, Governor Simba Arati and his Deputy Elijah Obebo.

It got tense as a hostile crowd near the VIP dias broke out into "Raila must go, Ruto must go" immediately Mr Odinga had taken his seat.

More others sang in praise of former Interior CS Fred Matiang'i who has declared intention to challenge President Ruto in the 2027 polls.

On Thursday last week, Mr Odinga had chided the bid by Matiang'i during his tour of Kisii, irking majority of the residents.

On Sunday, some groups in the Gusii Stadium had started singing “Ruto and Raila must go” while the other group wanted to sing only “Ruto must go”.

With tongues clashing, a few exchanged blows before an all out booing of Mr Odinga and Dr Ruto ensued.

Those who accompaned Mr Odinga include Governors; Ochilo Ayako (Migori), Johnson Sakaja (Nairobi) and Senator Eddy Okech (Migori).

Mr Ayacko was too heckled after he attempted to calm the crowd.

An attempt by Governor Arati to dissuade the crowd from walking out on Mr Odinga was met with protests.
