Winnie Odinga, daughter of ODM founder Raila Odinga and EALA MP, has opposed her uncle Dr. Oburu Oginga while supporting Senator Edwin Sifuna, who was ousted from his party secretary general position. She met with Sifuna and other ODM rebels in Nairobi yesterday, one day after Oburu led an NEC meeting that removed him. Before that meeting, she posted a message of dissatisfaction on social media.
Winnie Odinga has publicly supported Senator Edwin Sifuna following his removal from the ODM secretary general position. The meeting held in Nairobi yesterday involved Winnie and other party rebels, occurring one day after the ODM National Executive Committee (NEC), led by Dr. Oburu Oginga, ousted Sifuna.
Prior to that gathering, Winnie shared a social media post expressing her dissatisfaction with the decision made under Oburu's leadership. “Things are not okay,” she wrote on a banner featuring the party's orange color.
Winnie has been a prominent critic of the party's direction since her father's death in October 2025. In an interview on January 27, 2026, she stated that the leadership transition process was unconstitutional and conducted secretly. She accused a small group of leaders of sidelining members and making decisions without their involvement.
This development highlights internal divisions within ODM amid leadership changes.
