On September 5, 2019, Raila Odinga left the country for a three-day trip to Ethiopia, leaving behind a power vacuum in the ODM primaries in Kibra.

According to Raila's spokesperson, Dennis Onyango, the former Prime Minister is attending a meeting in Addis Ababa as a representative of the African Union.
