The incident comes at the backdrop of a massive Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) campaign tour that lasted a week. He toured Coastal counties as well as Samburu county.
Oburu Odinga said the ODM principal was responding well to treatment, but may need specialized care.
The 76 year old politician has been in and out of hospitals over his recurring back aches. In July, Raila flew to Dubai where he underwent minor surgery at the Saudi German Hospital.
