The media mogul led the crowd in declaring Raila Odinga Tosha for the presidential race in the 2022 general election.
"I conclude in the hope that I have made my contribution in helping tell the true story of Raila as I know him, his father, and the long political journey of our great country," he said.
Kenyans turned up in large numbers for Odinga's big day at Kasarani where he is expected to announce his presidential candidature.
