Kenya's former prime minister Raila Odinga's over three-decade long political stint in Kenya could come to a halt, for now, as he turns his focus to his African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship quest - a move certain to unsettle majority of his close allies who have over the years hang on his coat-tails to secure their elective position.
Mr Odinga who has made five unsuccessful bids for presidency announced this week that he was moving from national to continental politics.
