Speaking during an interview on The Oga Obinna Show, McOure said the news of Raila’s passing left him in disbelief, and he has yet to fully process the loss.
“It has been very confusing. I am still in a state of shock. I haven’t believed it. Even last week, I tried calling him,” he said, adding that the veteran politician’s contact was still saved among his favourites.
McOure, a known ODM youth mobilizer and loyal supporter of Raila, described the past weeks as emotionally draining.
“I just feel like he is gonna come back. I don’t think I have had the chance to really sit with all of it,” he told the interviewer, reflecting on his continued denial.
The activist also spoke about his decision not to wear traditional attire during Raila’s burial.
He explained that he had planned to don cultural regalia in honour of the former Prime Minister but was advised otherwise by elders.
“I met a particular lady who said we just don’t wear those things for granted. We don’t just participate in these things for granted. So I decided to do regular stuff,” McOure said.
McOure’s emotional remarks offered a glimpse into the deep sense of loss felt by many ODM supporters following Raila’s death.
The late opposition chief was laid to rest at his rural home in Bondo, Siaya County, in a ceremony attended by national leaders and thousands of mourners.
The ODM youth leader’s comments show the personal and collective grief that continues to ripple across Kenya’s political landscape as the country comes to terms with the passing of one of its most influential figures.
