ODM Faces Internal Divisions at Meetings in Kibra and Kakamega County - January 2026

EALA MP Winnie Odinga held a significant rally at Kamukunji Grounds in Kibra on January 18, 2026, where she cautioned ODM leaders against making unilateral decisions for the party. She urged them not to act ahead of the 2027 General Election without consulting members through a National Delegates Conference (NDC). Concurrently, the Orange Democratic Movement is facing internal strife in Kakamega County. A recent ODM meeting there, the first since Raila Odinga's absence, highlighted deep divisions, forcing Oburu Oginga to attend two separate gatherings. During this event, some members urged Co-operatives Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya to cease factionalism amidst impending talks with the UDA party.
