He added: “Most of all I thank the good Lord, my family and all those who have undertaken this journey with us.
“We have arrived in Canaan; thank you for staying the course with us. Asanteni sana.”
Odinga was sworn in during the ceremony skipped by his fellow Nasa co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetang’ula and Musalia Mudavadi.
“I Raila Amolo Odinga, in full realisation of the high calling, assume the office of the People’s President of the Republic of Kenya,” he recidet the oath administered by Ruaraka Member of Parliament TJ Kajwang’ and former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna.
“We have accomplished our promise to Kenyans,” said Odinga before quickly departing the packed venue.
