In a strongly worded statement, Odhiambo called out Oburu Odinga and Gladys Wanga, cautioning that no individual should place personal ambitions above the party’s ideals and the interests of the public.
“None of us is Raila Amollo Odinga! We must listen to the public. Stop putting personal interests first before the public interest,” she stated.
Her remarks come amid escalating internal tensions within ODM, particularly around zoning arrangements in key political strongholds.
The legislator criticized what she termed as “zoning nonsense,” accusing some leaders of attempting to impose preferred candidates in certain regions at the expense of fairness and inclusivity.
Odhiambo emphasized that such practices risk undermining party unity and could alienate grassroots supporters ahead of the 2027 general elections.

She insisted that leadership decisions must reflect democratic principles rather than closed-door agreements driven by a few influential figures.
The outspoken MP has recently been at the center of several internal debates within ODM. She previously opposed efforts to remove Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo and has consistently criticized what she views as flawed zoning strategies.
Political observers say her latest statement reflects growing dissatisfaction among a section of ODM leaders who feel sidelined by dominant voices within the party.

Her direct warning to Oburu and Wanga signals that resistance to zoning arrangements is gaining traction.
The developments raise broader concerns about cohesion within ODM, which is currently navigating its position within Kenya’s evolving political landscape, including its relationship with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
Analysts warn that continued internal divisions could weaken the party’s unity and potentially trigger defections or realignments as the country edges closer to the next election cycle.
