ODM appoints Oburu Odinga as acting party leader

The Orange Democratic Party (ODM) has named Oburu Odinga as the acting Party leader following the death of Raila Odinga.

The announcement comes after the opposition outfit held a special National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting Wednesday morning on the Party’s plans on the funeral of the Party Leader Raila Odinga.

According to ODM, the Siaya Senator will now take over the helm until a substantive leader is elected to replace the late Raila Odinga.

“The NEC has designated the Senator of Siaya County Dr. Oburu Odinga to be the acting party leader until the time the top party organs will meet and elect a substantive party leader to fit in the big shoes that have been left by our leader,” said ODM.
