ODM Marks 20th Anniversary in Mombasa with Oburu Odinga as New Leader Amid Tensions.

Kenya's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) launched its three-day 20th anniversary celebrations in Mombasa on November 14, 2025, honoring founder Raila Odinga's legacy in multiparty democracy and devolution since 2005. The event installed Raila's brother, Dr. Oburu Odinga, as party leader, with deputies including Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir and others, drawing thousands to venues like Mama Ngina Waterfront. Speeches by Siaya Governor James Orengo and Winnie Odinga emphasized resistance to alliances with President William Ruto's administration, while critics highlighted Orengo's governance challenges in Siaya County, including an ongoing nurses' strike.
