Azimio presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga and his entourage have arrived in Washington DC, United States for a week-long work visit.

Updating his supporters of his activities, Mr Odinga shared that he had followed the Arsenal versus Manchester United, Premier League match on Saturday night, mid-air.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader, who is an Arsenal fan, took the chance to cheer his team to victory. He also shared that Sundays, for him, are often spent watching football.
