Kenyan authorities have deployed extensive security in the western city of Kisumu ahead of the last public viewing of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s body, following the deaths of five people during earlier funeral events.

Military personnel, police officers, and air surveillance teams were stationed Saturday at the city’s soccer stadium, where thousands of mourners had stayed overnight for a chance to pay their respects.

Odinga, who died Wednesday in India at the age of 80, was a veteran politician widely respected in Kenya and internationally for his efforts to advance democracy, earning praise from figures including former U.S. President Barack Obama. He is scheduled to be buried Sunday at his family home in Bondo, western Kenya.

Supporters have turned out in large numbers since Odinga’s body arrived in the country Thursday. During the first public viewing, police fired live rounds and tear gas, killing three people. On Friday, a stampede after the state funeral service killed two more and injured 163.

Widow Ida Odinga urged mourners to grieve peacefully, while his brother Oburu pleaded with the public not to provoke authorities. “Raila should not be teargassed in death. He has been teargassed enough when he was alive,” he said.

Odinga ran for Kenya’s presidency five times over three decades, never winning, but remained a key figure in advancing Kenya’s multiparty democracy. His body lay in state at parliament Friday, an honor typically reserved for sitting or former presidents.

President William Ruto eulogized Odinga as a patriotic and selfless leader who helped stabilize Kenya. Though the two were political rivals in past elections, including the disputed 2007 vote and 2022 election, they reached a political agreement this year allowing opposition members to join the Cabinet following anti-government protests.
