ODM party leader Raila Odinga endured a mixed reception on Sunday, March 9 as a large section of residents openly jeered him during an event at the Gusii Stadium.

Raila was in Kisii county for the official launch of Shabana FC's new kits in an event attended by several dignitaries including Kisii Governor Simba Arati, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, and ODM youth league member Kasmuel MCOure.

Despite the area traditionally being one of Raila's political strongholds, the ODM party boss had to endure a volatile crowd, who cheered and heckled at his presence, almost in equal measure.

Images and videos obtained by Kenyans.co.ke showed sections of the crowd at the Gusii Stadium shouting down the former Prime Minister, while others resorted to anti-Ruto chants.
