It's rare for candidates themselves to release campaign songs - usually famous artists do it for them - but Kenya does have a few entertainers-turned-MPs such as singer Charles Njagua aka Jaguar.

Mr Odinga's song titled Leo ni Leo, meaning "Today is Today" in Swahili, is a remix of song by a popular artist from western Kenya - one of the areas considered as a stronghold for the former prime minister and opposition leader.

This is the fifth time he is running for president, and many believe it'll be his last.

The catchy tune, which has an accompanying video, goes on to say that "whoever tells us to wait for tomorrow, is a liar".

Kenya is currently in full campaign mode ahead of the vote in six months time polls. It is being seen as a two-horse race between Mr Odinga and current Deputy President William Ruto.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, who has served his two terms in office, is backing Mr Odinga - once his biggest political rival.

The campaigns have deeply divided the country, with several politicians already in trouble for utterances that authorities say could lead to violence during the elections.
