ODM Vows Magarini By-Election Win to Honor Raila's Legacy Amid Calls for New Political Direction - October 2025

Following the death of Raila Odinga, political leaders and parties are outlining future actions. People’s Liberation Party leader Martha Karua has urged Kenyans to move beyond personality-based politics and redefine the opposition. The future of the Odinga political dynasty, a dominant force in Luo Nyanza for over five decades, is also being questioned. To honor their late party leader, who passed away on October 19, 2025, Kilifi ODM leaders have pledged to secure a victory in the upcoming Magarini by-election on November 27. The win is intended to reaffirm the party's dominance in the county.
