        there are two things here BBC should put a bottom line on. when kenyens went to the poll on 8/8/17, there were two choices: IEBC choice, being uhuru kenyatta and peoples choice being raila odinga. today, kenyans finally have their president, let's respect peoples leader.

        Raila is simply suffering from a rare condition called male menopause syndrome and chronic elections defeat denial

        Raila Odinga has been attempting coups since 1982. Kenyans are used to his tantrums & theatrics. Today's events were pure comedy and we had a good laugh. Tomorrow we get back to nation building.

        Its hard to see anything beyond intensifying defiance, boycotts and making it extremely hard to govern but beyond that, without the army or judiciary, it's hard to see him making progress...but stranger things have happened just look at the USA. We wait to see

        In Kenya, the only magnitude of wave is @RailaOdinga . The rest are peanuts and Nancyboys walloping around with no intention of fighting real war. Thanks Raila, for building Kenyans the courage to go forward no matter the smog fumes
