Doctors from Sreedhareeyam Ayurvedic Hospital in Kerala, India, are in Kenya to pay their final respects to the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who died from cardiac arrest at a private hospital in Koothattakulam on October 15 after suffering a cardiac arrest at the Ayurvedic centre where he was receiving treatment for a persistent leg problem.

• On Thursday, October 30, Mombasa Governor and ODM Deputy Leader Abdulswamad Nassir received the doctors in Mombasa.
• The doctors were accompanied by Rosemary Odinga, Raila's daughter, who previously received successful treatment at the same Indian hospital for eyesight loss.
• Raila was at the Ayurvedic centre for five days before his sudden death and had pre-existing conditions including diabetes and hypertension.

The social media accounts of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who passed away on October 15, 2025, will now be managed by The RAO Foundation. This change is part of broader shifts following his death, including a new interim leader for the ODM party.

• Raila Odinga's X bio was updated on Thursday, October 30, to reflect management by The RAO Foundation.
• The RAO Foundation will use the accounts to honor Raila Odinga's legacy and promote his values.

Oburu Odinga, the acting party leader of the ODM party, met with Embakasi East MP Babu Owino on Thursday to address growing internal tensions and promote unity within the party, following the passing of former leader Raila Odinga.

• The meeting focused on strengthening unity and inclusivity within the ODM party, as confirmed by Oburu Odinga.
• Babu Owino is positioning himself as a leading youthful politician and intends to contest the Nairobi governor's seat.
• Oburu Odinga assured that the party’s nomination process would be transparent and merit-based, dismissing fears that Babu Owino would be denied the party ticket.
