More than 100 mourners from Mombasa have embarked on an emotional journey to Bondo, Siaya County, to attend the burial of the late Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, scheduled for Sunday.

The mourners, most of them from Nyali Sub-County, travelled in two buses sponsored by Said Abdalla, popularly known as Saido, a long-time ally of the late leader. The group departed from the Coast City on Friday night.

The Port City has been the bastion of Baba for more than two decades, evidently in the last General Elections where ODM dominated the region, clinching the Gubernatorial, Senatorial, and Women Representative seats, along with five of six Parliamentary positions and 27 of 30 County Assembly seats.
