Taifa Leo profiles the political career of Stephen Oluoch Ondiek, a veteran Nyanza politician who experienced Kenya's shift from one-party rule to multiparty democracy. In 2001, President Daniel arap Moi appointed him Minister for Labour Development, at a time when many Nyanza leaders had left KANU for the opposition. After multiparty politics returned in 1992, much of Nyanza, particularly the Luo community, distanced itself from Moi's government under the leadership of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, who ran for president that year through FORD-Kenya. The headline references Ondiek's 1983 election defeat of his brother-in-law James Orengo.
