The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has convened an urgent meeting following reports of an imminent cabinet reshuffle that could significantly alter the country’s political landscape. The move comes just days after the passing of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who reportedly hinted at major government changes before flying to India, where he tragically succumbed to cardiac arrest.
According to sources close to the party’s top leadership, the anticipated reshuffle is aimed at accommodating former Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and his allies in President William Ruto’s administration. Insiders reveal that the inclusion of Moi’s camp is part of a broader political realignment expected to shape the next phase of Kenya’s governance structure.
Speculations are rife that one of Raila Odinga’s children could be appointed to the Cabinet — a move that would mark a historic continuation of the Odinga family’s political legacy. Though details remain confidential, the announcement has already stirred debate within political circles, with analysts predicting potential rifts and new alliances.
Key Cabinet Secretaries reportedly on the chopping block include Davis Chirchir (Transport) and Julius Migosi (Education), along with at least seven Principal Secretaries whose performance and loyalty have come under review.
ODM officials are expected to issue a formal statement after the emergency meeting to clarify their position regarding the unfolding developments. Political observers believe the meeting will not only address the looming reshuffle but also redefine ODM’s role in the post-Raila era, as Kenya’s political landscape braces for a major transformation.
