“ODM Is My Home,” Winnie Odinga Declares at Party NDC

East African Legislative Assembly Member of Parliament Winnie Odinga finally made an appearance at the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) National Delegates Convention, drawing attention amid earlier anticipation over her attendance.

The ODM party held its much-anticipated National Delegates Convention at Jamhuri Grounds, bringing together delegates from across the country to deliberate on the party’s leadership and future direction. 

The meeting comes at a time when the party is grappling with internal divisions that have spilled into the public domain.

Winnie’s arrival at the convention on Friday, March 27, 2026, was closely watched, given her position within the party and her ties to the influential Odinga political family.

Her presence signalled a show of unity at a time when the party has faced internal tensions.

In her address to delegates, Winnie reaffirmed her loyalty to ODM, describing it as her political home.

She spoke briefly but firmly, sending a message that appeared aimed at calming speculation about her political stance.

“Nilisema juzi ODM is my home, and this is where I am,” Winnie said.

Her remarks were met with reactions from delegates, many of whom have been keen to see signs of cohesion within the party leadership.

The statement underscored her continued association with ODM despite ongoing debates and divisions within its ranks.

The convention provided a platform for party members to engage on key issues affecting ODM, including leadership, unity, and strategy.

Delegates used the forum to express their views and chart a way forward for the party as it navigates the current political landscape.

Winnie Odinga, who serves in the East African Legislative Assembly, remains a prominent voice within ODM, particularly among the youth.

Her participation in the convention was seen as significant, given the broader context of internal disagreements that have recently played out in public.

Party leaders have been working to present a united front, even as differing opinions continue to emerge from various quarters.

The convention was therefore viewed as a critical moment to reinforce unity and strengthen party structures.

Delegates from different regions attended the meeting, reflecting the party’s national reach and its efforts to remain cohesive despite challenges.

Discussions at the convention focused on consolidating support and preparing for future political engagements.

Winnie’s statement added to the broader message of unity that party leaders sought to project during the event.

By affirming her place within ODM, she contributed to efforts aimed at reassuring supporters and members about the party’s stability.

As the convention progressed, leaders emphasised the importance of dialogue and collective responsibility in addressing internal concerns.

The gathering also served as an opportunity to align the party’s leadership with its long-term goals.
