Oburu Reveals What Raila Odinga Sacrificed to Build ODM

Orange Democratic Movement Party Leader Oburu Oginga has reminded party members that the formation of the political outfit was the result of years of ideological struggle and political commitment by his late brother, Raila Odinga.

Speaking about the party’s history and identity, Oburu maintained that ODM was not established overnight but developed through a long process of political mobilisation, discussions and the pursuit of a common ideology.

According to Oburu, Raila invested considerable time and effort in building the political movement into one of Kenya’s most influential political parties.

“ODM was not created in just a day, it was an ideology that took Raila a very long time,” Oburu stated.

His remarks highlight the importance of preserving the principles and political foundation upon which ODM was established, particularly at a time when the party is facing conversations about its future direction and leadership.

ODM has remained a major force in Kenya’s political landscape, attracting millions of supporters through its history of political campaigns, reform demands and opposition politics.

Raila Odinga, who served as the party’s most prominent leader for many years, played a central role in shaping its identity and establishing its national political influence.

Oburu’s statement could also be interpreted as a reminder to party officials and supporters that ODM’s identity goes beyond individual political ambitions.

The party’s historical journey and ideological foundation remain important considerations in determining its future.

His comments come amid growing political discussions surrounding the direction of ODM following Raila’s death, with different leaders and supporters expressing their views on how the party should be managed going forward.

The remarks are likely to attract attention among ODM supporters, especially those who believe the party should remain committed to the political ideals associated with its founding leadership.

As the party navigates its next chapter, Oburu’s message underscores the importance of protecting its history, ideology and political legacy while preparing for the challenges ahead.

Ultimately, his position is that the ODM story cannot be separated from the years of dedication and political struggle that Raila invested in building the movement.
