Nairobi Governor Sakaja Officially Joins ODM Party

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has officially joined the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), revealing that the late party leader Raila Odinga had encouraged him to become a member of the party.

Sakaja was formally received into ODM by Deputy Party Leader Simba Arati, who welcomed him on behalf of party leader Oburu Oginga at Chungwa House.

The governor said his decision to join the party was influenced by his previous engagements with Raila Odinga, who had urged him to associate with ODM.

His entry into the opposition-turned-broad-based political party marks a new development in Nairobi’s political landscape as leaders continue positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.
