'''Raila Odinga''' (born 1945) is the social democrat [[Prime Minister]] of [[Kenya]] and a cousin of [[US]][[President-elect]] [[Barack Obama]]<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7176683.stm</ref>. In 2007 Odinga was the candidate for the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in the Kenyan presidential election. The disputed outcome of that election, which opposition activists claim was rigged to produce a victory for incumbent president [[Mwai Kibaki]], led to widespread civil unrest in which arond 1,500 people died and several hundred thousands fled their homes. In a power-sharing deal aimed at restoring stability and international support, Kibaki agreed to make Odinga prime minister.
