Raila Odinga
Kenyan politician Raila Odinga.
In 1991, Raila Odinga sought refuge in Norway due to his active campaigning against the one-party rule of President Daniel arap Moi. During this period of intense political repression, Odinga faced repeated arrests for his opposition to the government. He eventually returned to Kenya in 1992, where he was elected to the National Assembly.1
