Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi shrugged off his ousting from the Orange Democratic Movement’s leadership, insisting that he can lead effectively without a formal party title.
“I will not go to court to contest. I will let them have their post. I will be the deputy party leader of Linda Mwananchi,” Osotsi said during a political rally.
His comments follow a Special Delegates Conference at Nairobi’s Jamhuri Grounds, where ODM delegates removed him from his post as deputy party leader. During a chaotic session, Osotsi lost the position after failing to find anyone to propose or second his nomination.
The convention also confirmed Oburu Odinga as the new party leader. This shift signals a fresh direction for ODM as it navigates internal restructuring and growing rifts within its ranks.
Osotsi, who recently aligned himself with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s “Linda Mwananchi” faction, slammed opposing groups for prioritizing personal gain over the party’s long-standing heritage.
He specifically targeted the “Linda Ruto” and “Linda Ground” camps, arguing that several leaders have turned their backs on the core values ODM established under the late Raila Odinga.
Even with this recent blow, Osotsi maintained that his political weight hasn’t shifted. He cast his removal as a symptom of the intense power struggles currently gripping the party as it maneuvers for the 2027 general election.
