Oginga Odinga was Kenyatta's ally in the independence struggle, the first vice president of Kenya, and the man who declared "Not Yet Uhuru" when he realized freedom had been captured by a new elite. He broke with Kenyatta in 1966, formed the opposition KPU, and was detained without trial. He spent the rest of his life in opposition, banned, harassed, and politically isolated. His refusal to bend created the template for Luo politics: principled, defiant, and perpetually outside power. He died in 1994, never having seen his vision realized.
