It seems Nasa leader Raila Odinga also has difficulties making up his mind – at least on who exactly he is to his Twitter followers.

Mr Odinga has edited his Twitter bio at least four times since his ‘swearing-in’ at Uhuru Park in Nairobi on Tuesday afternoon.

Minutes after the event, he changed his bio to read “President of the Republic of Kenya.” This did not last long as he risked losing his verification badge.

Twitter rules lists “intentionally misleading people on Twitter by changing one’s display name or bio” as one of the reasons users can lose the cherished badge.

Hours later, he altered the bio to read: “This is the official account of His Excellency Raila Amolo Odinga, leader of the Nasa coalition in Kenya.”

He still was not done.

The former Prime Minister changed his bio late in the night to read: “This is the official account of His Excellency Raila Amolo Odinga. Sworn in as the People’s President on 30/1/2018.”
