The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is walking through one of its heaviest seasons, carrying the weight of grief, memory, and expectation. As the party continues to honour the legacy of Raila Amolo Odinga, Baba to millions, his family and supporters remain at the heart of the nation’s emotional pulse.
Among them stands Winnie Odinga, a daughter navigating both personal sorrow and rising political responsibility. Her public tears, shared openly with the country, touched many who saw not weakness, but courage. In a political culture where emotions are often hidden, her willingness to mourn loudly and honestly resonated with a generation yearning for authenticity.
Those close to the ODM family have urged her not to hold back: cry, heal, and rise. And in that rising, many see a future.
Across the country, supporters are quietly and loudly echoing one sentiment: the unity of ODM must hold, not only as a tribute to Baba’s lifelong struggle but as a shield for the party’s future. For decades, Raila Odinga defined opposition politics, democratic activism, and the relentless pursuit of justice. His absence has created an emotional vacuum, but also a renewed fire.

In that space, a bold narrative is emerging: Winnie Odinga as the next beacon of the movement, a young leader carrying her father’s political DNA and her own unshakable resolve. Alongside her brother Raila Odinga Junior, affectionately called “Big Brother” by ODM faithful, many believe the next generation of Odinga is ready to guide the ship.
For ODM loyalists, this isn’t just hope, it’s a conviction:
Their message is clear: Baba’s dream doesn’t die; it transforms. It continues through the passion of his daughter, the protective strength of his son, and the unwavering loyalty of millions who still believe in the orange flame.
As Kenya watches this political chapter unfold, one thing remains certain, love, loss, and legacy are reshaping ODM in real time. And at the Centre of it all, Winnie Odinga stands tall, grieving yet rising, becoming a symbol of resilience for a movement that refuses to fade.
