Overview

• Army officers saluted as Odinga was interred in Bondo, closing state and public ceremonies in his home region.
• Tens of thousands gathered in Kisumu after his coffin arrived by helicopter, and a broken gate caused surges that led to roughly 100 evacuations with no reported deaths though dozens required treatment.
• At the Nyayo Stadium state event in Nairobi, at least two people died in a crush and more than 160 were injured.
• Human rights activists reported that security forces shot at least three people during Thursday’s gathering at Kasarani while attempting to keep crowds from a VIP area.
• Authorities adjusted plans in western Kenya by canceling a street procession and using air transfer to the stadium, as Odinga’s passing leaves a significant gap in the opposition ahead of the 2027 election.
