In remarks that are already stirring political circles, Jaoko insisted that the party does not belong to any single individual, family, or community—but to all Kenyans.
Positioning himself as part of a new generation of political voices, Jaoko pushed back against the long-held perception that ODM’s identity is inseparable from one political lineage.
He emphasized that the party should not be treated like private property or a family enterprise, but as a national platform meant to serve diverse interests across the country.
His comments land at a sensitive moment for ODM, as the party grapples with internal realignments, leadership questions, and the challenge of remaining relevant in a rapidly shifting political landscape.
Observers note that such statements reflect growing pressure within the party to redefine itself beyond legacy politics and ethnic loyalties.
By framing ODM as a people-driven movement rather than a personality-driven vehicle, Jaoko appears to be calling for inclusivity, renewal, and broader participation—especially from younger leaders and supporters who want to see change.
Political analysts say the remarks could signal an emerging generational shift within the party, one that prioritizes ideology and national appeal over historical associations.
Whether this marks the start of a deeper transformation remains to be seen.
Still, one thing is clear: Jaoko Oburu has thrown a political grenade into the conversation—and ODM may never sound the same again.
