Ruto Approves Renaming of Talanta Stadium to Raila Odinga International Stadium

President William Ruto has approved the renaming of Talanta Stadium to Raila Odinga International Stadium in honor of the late former Prime Minister.

The calls to rename the stadium had intensified during the 62nd Jamhuri Day celebrations at Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, where the matter was publicly raised before President Ruto.

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja had used his address to urge the Head of State to consider the requests from Nairobi residents who want the upcoming arena to bear Raila’s name.

His remarks were met with loud approval from the crowd.
