ODM leader Raila Odinga during the party Parliamentary Group Meeting in Nairobi /EMMANUEL WANSON
Raila Odinga is reigniting his base, the ODM strongholds. In a subtle strategy, the party is celebrating 20 years of existence. However, beneath the veneer is a careful roadmap to push the party ahead of the pack. The month-long festivities will culminate in a jamboree in Mombasa lasting three days from October 10 to 12.
The event is coming up at a time the country is going to hold 23 by-elections to fill vacancies arising from deaths and resignations. The by-elections in themselves will test the strength of the Raila-Ruto unity within the Broad-Based Government arrangement. The activities got flagged off by the meeting of ODM’s Central Management Committee that reaffirmed its support and commitment to the party leader in the implementation of the nine-point agreement between UDA and ODM.
