The veteran politician, fondly known as Baba, died under the care of his daughter and personal doctor.
His death has left the nation in deep sorrow, with tributes flowing in from world leaders, political allies, and citizens across the country.
Many have described his passing as the end of an era for a man who shaped Kenya’s struggle for democracy, equality, and national unity.
Before his death, Raila shared what has now become his final message to Kenyans.
In a heartfelt post on his social media page, he expressed joy after meeting the executive team of Gor Mahia Football Club, his favourite local team.
In his message, Raila said that he was pleased to be briefed by the club’s chairman, Ambrose Rachier, on their campaign plans for the new football season.
He went on to wish the team success as they aimed to raise the green flag higher and reclaim their place as champions once again.
The post, which included photos of Gor Mahia officials presenting him with a team jersey, has since gone viral, attracting thousands of condolence messages.
Many Kenyans said the message reflected Raila’s optimism, humility, and deep love for the nation.
Raila’s body will be laid to rest tomorrow at his Bondo home in Siaya County, where thousands are expected to attend his final send-off.
His last words now stand as a symbol of hope, unity, and the enduring spirit of a man who dedicated his life to serving Kenya.
