After Oginga Odinga broke with Kenyatta in 1966, the Luo were marked as oppositional. Every subsequent Luo leader has inherited that posture, whether chosen or imposed. The pattern repeats: principled resistance, political exclusion, electoral loss, claims of rigging. It is a tradition born of historical grievance and sustained by structural marginalization. To be Luo in Kenyan politics is to be in opposition, even when seeking power. Jaramogi set the mold. His ghost still walks through every rally, every petition, every cry of injustice.
