TROUBLE IN ODM: Gladys Wanga Facing Uphill Battle as Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang Backs Babu Owino for Nairobi Governor

NAIROBI, Kenya — Homa Bay County Governor Gladys Wanga, who serves as the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) National Chairperson, is facing an intensifying leadership challenge within the orange party.

Signs of a widening rift have emerged as internal divisions threaten party cohesion. Following the passing of long-time leader Raila Odinga, the party’s central command appears increasingly fragmented, with senior figures charting independent political courses.

The strained relationship between Governor Wanga and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has escalated significantly.

Tensions reached a boiling point after Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang publicly broke ranks with the party hierarchy to endorse Babu Owino for the Nairobi County gubernatorial seat.

Senator Kajwang’s endorsement serves a major blow to the party’s established leadership, which has actively worked to contain Owino’s growing political influence.

By backing the vocal Embakasi East legislator over the preferred party alternative, Kajwang has signaled a direct challenge to Wanga’s regional and national authority.

Political analysts observe that Wanga must act swiftly to restore order and bridge the deepening fault lines within ODM. With key strongholds showing signs of defiance, the National Chairperson faces a tough test in maintaining unity and preventing further defections or open rebellion ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
