Kenyans Praise Acting ODM Secretary General Catherine Omanyo Over New Grassroots Strategy

Following the unceremonious removal of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna from his role as the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General, Busia County Woman Representative Hon. Catherine Omanyo stepped into the seat in an acting capacity.

Rather than sticking to traditional political routines, Omanyo’s fresh leadership approach is earning her praise from political observers and citizens across the country.

Instead of traversing the country on formal campaign trails with standard party delegations, Omanyo has adopted a hands-on, localized strategy.

She is actively prioritizing face-to-face engagements with prospective political candidates and regional leaders seeking to run on the ODM ticket.

Political analysts view this as a strategic masterstroke to bolster party structures from the ground up ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

Omanyo’s new focus was highlighted in a recent social media post detailing her daily party operations:

“I engaged with Halima Godana Sama, an MCA aspirant for Kina Ward in Isiolo County on her aspirations and the continued growth of ODM grassroots presence in Isiolo county.

Continuing with the day’s engagements, I also welcomed Jullie Amoit from Teso North, who paid a courtesy call and officially registered as a member of the ODM Party. Her decision to join us is a welcome addition as we continue to expand our membership across the country. Tuko Tayari.”

Her deliberate efforts to engage aspirants directly—ranging from Ward level candidates in Isiolo to new members in Busia—signal a shift toward grassroots inclusivity.

Party supporters have taken to social media to commend her proactive approach, noting that welcoming new members directly injects fresh momentum into ODM.

As the political landscape reshapes ahead of 2027, Omanyo’s focus on direct engagement positions her as a unifying and transformative leader within the party fold.
