Oburu Odinga, the new leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, has dismissed "restructuring" talk and asserted his leadership following the death of his brother, Raila Odinga. Speaking at the burial of his sister, Beryl Achieng Odinga, Oburu urged party unity during the family's period of grief.

• Oburu Odinga declared, "There is no vacuum. Raila left very big shoes, and I have been given those shoes. I am sitting there."
• Oburu formally assumed leadership of ODM after the passing of his brother, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, emphasizing party stability.
• The burial of Beryl Achieng Odinga followed weeks after Raila's burial, marking a profoundly sorrowful period for the Odinga family.
