Mama Ida Odinga Declares Loyalty to ODM, Rules Out Leaving Broad-Based Government

Mama Ida Odinga has reaffirmed her commitment to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), declaring that she has no intention of leaving the party or abandoning the broad-based government arrangement under President William Ruto.

Ida said her late husband, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, left her firmly within ODM and the broad-based political arrangement, adding that she intends to remain on the same path.

She maintained that she would not pursue a different political direction, signalling her continued support for the political course Raila had embraced before his death.

The former Prime Minister’s widow also appealed to ODM members and Raila’s supporters to maintain unity and remain committed to the political direction he left behind.

Her remarks underscore her position that the party should preserve the path established by its longtime leader rather than allow divisions to weaken the movement.

Ida’s declaration comes amid continued political discussions over ODM’s future and its relationship with President Ruto’s broad-based government.

By publicly reaffirming her loyalty, she has signalled that she intends to remain within ODM and support the political arrangement that Raila was part of.
