ODM endorses Raila as party leader, Mbadi Chairman and Ababu as Secretary General

Raila Odinga remains ODM party leader, Suba Mp John Mbadi is the new chairman and Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba has been endorsed as the new Secretary General.

The National Governing Council meeting sitting at the Bomas of Kenya on Friday endorsed the entire list submitted by the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the Transitional Independent Executive Committee (TIEC) after a meeting held at Sentrine Lodge in Elementaita last month.

The new party leaders, led by Mbadi and Namwamba, had earlier arrived at Bomas holding hands in a show of unity ahead of the NGC meeting.

Raila moved to stem party rebels by unveiling the inclusive lineup after the botched February party polls although his close allies opposed the move.

Those who were earlier opposed to the handpicking of party officials include Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya, Paul Otuoma and James Orengo.
