Stepping into the colossal shadow of Raila Odinga, the late founder and leader of the ODM party, Oburu Oginga’s tenure as the new helm begins on a stormy note. But here's where it gets controversial: even as he grapples with steering a party adrift in uncertainty, Oburu faces not just external skepticism but also fierce criticism from within his own family. His niece, Winnie Odinga, has openly questioned his ability to protect ODM’s position in the broad-based government—a challenge that adds a layer of personal drama to an already complex political landscape. This isn’t just a leadership transition; it’s a high-stakes test of whether Oburu can fill the void left by a towering figure like Raila. And this is the part most people miss: the internal family rift could either make or break ODM’s future.
