<h2>Personal Life</h2>
<p>Baptised as a Legio Maria in his youth, Odinga later became a Born-Again Christian[37] through an Evangelical church in Nairobi.</p>

Winnie is currently studying Communication and International Area Studies as a double major student at Drexel University in Philadelphia.<p>

However, Barack Obama's paternal uncle denied any direct relation to Odinga, stating "Odinga's mother came from this area, so it is normal for us to talk about cousins. But he is not a blood relative."</p>
