NAIROBI, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Kenyan main opposition leader Raila Odinga was on Sunday admitted to hospital in Mombasa city shortly after addressing political rallies in the coastal region.

Odinga's spokesman Dennis Onyango said the former prime minister is on a stable condition, adding that they suspect food poisoning.

"We suspect food poisoning but doctors are on his case and he is stable. We strongly suspect food poisoning," Onyango said in a brief statement released on Sunday evening.

He said Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Jono has released doctors to attend to him and "in a short time we will update the country on what is going on."
