• Oburu Odinga's appointment was confirmed by the National Governing Council (NGC) on Thursday, November 13, along with new Deputy Party Leaders: Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir, Godfrey Osotsi, and Simba Arati.
• Other significant leadership changes include Kisumu Woman Rep Ruth Odinga as Deputy Organising Secretary, and Otiendo Amollo and Ariko Namoit as Vice Chairpersons.
• These appointments are subject to ratification by the National Delegates Convention (NDC) and coincide with the ODM's 20th anniversary celebrations in Mombasa from November 14-16, where President William Ruto is expected to attend.
