Gwada Ogot is one of Kenya's top Political Analysts and has been a consistent feature on television political discussion shows in Kenya from 2006. In 2007 he co-hosted a popular political discussion program on the vernacular Ramogi FM radio station -'Mayienga'. The following year- 2008, he co-hosted the Power Break Fast Show on Citizen TV.

As a Human Rights defender, his talk shows have prioritized Human Rights and Democratic freedoms as key discussion topics. Always candid, his shows have variously rubbed the authorities the wrong way leading to several death threats. Gwada's nationalistic perspectives on political issues have in tandem earned him respect and admiration across the country.

Gwada is a keen poet and also writes on topical issues and actively posts on several internet sites. His two books, 'Kenya -Beyond the Double Cross' and 'The Legacy of Emperor Matumbo' are currently in edit for publication. He has also penned several other small anthologies.

Some of his most popular articles include - 'Dictators and Referenda- Key lessons for Kenya to learn from', 'Kenya-Whither the Animal Horn?', and 'The Dynastic Quartet is Kenya's Real Problem'.

On the political front, he is a member of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Orange Democratic Movement - Party of Kenya (ODM-K) and is also party Deputy National Organizing Secretary. Since 2007 he has represented his party on the board of the Centre for Multi Party Democracy (CMD) in Kenya and is a member of the programs Committee. Gwada has likewise represented his party at various other fora including the Constitution Review process in Kenya.

He is leader of the wanwanwan movement- a consciousness mobilization group. The wanwanwan engage in political and human rights awareness efforts through information dissemination in Kenya and the diaspora.

Gwada has lived in exile from July 2009 after surviving an abduction attempt by suspected state agents in a Nairobi street. A prominent leader in Kenya's Grand Coalition Government is suspected to have orchestrated the abduction attempt.

He continues to carry out his Human Rights and Democracy advocacy work and is currently engaged as Program Coordinator of a key national electoral agency in his country of exile.
