This event caused a temporary halt of airport operations. Assemblies also overwhelmed surrounding thoroughfares and tried to enter the government complex, where the administration had first arranged the open visitation. Political Legacy and Ethnic Support Though mainly known as an opposition figure, Odinga served as head of government in 2008 and also established a political pact with the president last year in a public service characterized by shifting alliances. He inspired passionate devotion among followers, particularly in his Luo community based in western Kenya, many of whom believe he was prevented from obtaining the highest office by electoral fraud. Countless of Odinga's mourners, who were not yet born in 1991 when Kenya established itself as a pluralistic political system, offered homage to Odinga's efforts as an activist.
