The cold war between Raila and Oburu families

A fresh power tussle appears to be brewing in the ODM hierarchy, with simmering tensions between party leader Oburu Oginga and his late brother Raila Odinga’s family over the party’s direction.

The rift spilled into the open after Raila’s daughter, Winnie, fired a warning shot last week, claiming some people wanted to sell the party at night, a remark widely interpreted as targeting senior party officials.
