The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has confirmed Oburu Odinga as its party leader at a Special Delegates Conference (SDC) held on March 27, 2026, at Jamhuri Grounds in Nairobi. Delegates rejected Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi as deputy leader for lacking a proposer and seconder, referring his replacement to the National Executive Committee (NEC). A parallel meeting was held by the faction led by Edwin Sifuna.
