Winnie Odinga, an EALA MP, asserted that the Orange Democratic Movement remains a vibrant political force with a lasting legacy of protest and perseverance. Speaking at the party's anniversary event in Mombasa, she stated that the ODM's identity, built on sacrifice and resilience, continues to attract young Kenyans. She acknowledged the party's imperfections but defended its confrontational approach as a necessary component of nation-building and democratic development.
The party also confirmed new leadership appointments during its National Governing Council meeting. Oburu Odinga was approved as the party leader, with several deputies including Abdulswamad Nassir, Simba Arati, and Geoffrey Osoti. Other appointments included Ruth Odinga as Deputy Organising Secretary and Rosa Buyu as Secretary of Political Affairs. These new leaders will assume their roles pending final ratification by the party's National Delegates Convention.
