Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo defended Winnie Odinga, stating that the Odinga family needs time to grieve the loss of Raila Odinga, and Winnie should be allowed to mourn her father before stepping into his political shoes. She also highlighted the challenges Winnie faces in navigating the complex political landscape of ODM.

• Millie Odhiambo believes the search for Raila Odinga's successor will take time, despite capable candidates like Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Shariff, Mining CS Hassan Joho, John Mbadi, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.
• Cracks within the 20-year-old ODM party are emerging, with some members supporting a broad-based government with President William Ruto's administration, while others, including Winnie Odinga, Edwin Sifuna, and Babu Owino, advocate for the public to determine the party's future direction.
• Winnie Odinga, an East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP, questioned whether those taking on the broad-based government agenda are capable, advocating for a National Delegates Conference (NDC) for the public to decide.
