The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is preparing to hold a memorial rally for the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Garissa on Sunday, October 18, 2026. This is part of the party's "Mwezi wa Baba" program, which has been commemorating Odinga's life and legacy throughout October, one year since his passing. The rally will be held at Maji Maji Grounds, and ODM's nominated Senator Hamida Kibwana announced the party's readiness for the event on social media.
The Garissa rally follows similar gatherings across other regions, including Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Vihiga, and Bondo, where regional leaders and supporters paid tribute to Odinga and urged party members to stay united. Odinga, who served as Kenya's Prime Minister from 2008 to 2013, played a significant role in promoting multiparty democracy and constitutional reforms.
The month-long program will continue with events in Kajiado County on October 21 and Turkana County between October 23 and 25, before concluding with a final memorial rally in Nairobi on October 31, 2026.
