Raila Odinga, former Kenyan prime minister and long-time opposition leader, has been laid to rest at his family’s homestead in Bondo. Odinga died in an Indian hospital at the age of 80.

The burial concluded days of memorials that led to chaos, with at least five mourners dying at other events and dozens injured at a public viewing.

Odinga served as a pro-democracy champion from 2008 to 2013. He served as the main opposition leader for many years, losing five presidential campaigns. African dignitaries and Kenyans attended the final interment of a man who was described as a “selfless pan-Africanist.”
