The Persons with Disabilities League is meeting at the Whitesands Hotel to discuss inclusion, accessibility, and opportunities in the private and public sectors.
The discussion will also emphasize the contribution of people with disabilities in the party’s two decades of political activity.
The ODM Women League is celebrating at the ASK Grounds with the launch of a legacy book documenting the party’s journey, achievements, and leadership of women since its inception.
The event has brought together senior party officials, veterans, and emerging leaders.
“At the Fort Jesus grounds, the Youth League shall deliberate on their issues, followed by a mega Youth Concert,” ODM added.
I am deeply honoured to have been confirmed as the National Chairperson and accept this role with a commitment to serve our party with utmost diligence.

The conversations are anticipated to include topics such as political representation, economic empowerment, and leadership pathways.
The events are part of a larger program commemorating ODM’s political presence over two decades and its dedication to representation across all segments of society.
The Orange Party will hold the event on November 14-16 at the famous Mama Ngina Waterfront.
The milestone event will also tribute party founder Raila Odinga, with activities taking place throughout the seaside city.
President William Ruto and former Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala are slated to attend the event as founding members.
The event is anticipated to bring together a mix of party faithful, old guards, and new-generation leaders in what insiders call a watershed moment for Kenya’s most resilient political movement.
This will be the ODM party’s first major event after the death of its leader, Raila Odinga, on October 15.

According to ODM organizers, the event would honour the party’s contributions to political reforms, devolution, and civil freedoms, as well as set the tone for its next chapter ahead of the 2027 elections.
Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga, who has been officially approved as the party’s leader [awaiting ratification by the National Delegates Convention], described the anniversary as a moment to reflect on the party’s journey and to celebrate the legacy of Raila.
“As we commemorate this landmark, we do so in honour of the indelible legacy of our departed party leader, the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, the father of modern democracy in Kenya, vision, courage and sacrifice built this movement. Whose vision, courage and sacrifice built this movement,” Oburu said.
