Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo faced a hostile reception in Kisumu after openly backing Winnie Odinga during an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) event.
The incident highlighted growing tensions within the party and exposed divisions among ODM supporters in its traditional stronghold.
The event had been organized as a party mobilization forum bringing together leaders, grassroots members, and youth representatives.
Expectations were high that the meeting would focus on unity, party reforms, and future strategy. However, the mood changed sharply when Millie Odhiambo took the stage.
As she spoke, sections of the crowd began to boo and shout, clearly displeased with her remarks.
The reaction intensified when it became clear that her message was strongly aligned with Winnie Odinga, Raila Odinga’s daughter, whose recent political positions have sparked debate within the party.
Many attendees appeared uncomfortable with what they viewed as the promotion of family interests over broader party concerns.
The crowd’s response reflected frustration among some ODM supporters who feel that loyalty, sacrifice, and grassroots work are being overlooked in favor of political lineage.
Meanwhile, let us wait and see what happens next.
