Prof Barack Muluka SG for DNA Party and Political Commentator and Communication Experts did the prediction while emphasize on these matter

As Kenya mourns the loss of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, a new wave of young leaders within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is emerging to carry forward his legacy. Political commentator and communications expert Barrack Muluka has identified a trio of dynamic ODM MPs who are ready to step into the spotlight and champion the party's ideals.

Meet the New Generation of ODM Leaders:

- Edwin Sifuna Nairobi Senator and vocal advocate for governance, equality, and justice.

- Babu Owino Embakasi East MP and passionate voice for the marginalized.

- Caleb Amisi Saboti MP and dedicated servant of the people.

These young leaders have been making waves in the political scene, voicing concerns on issues central to Raila's political career. Muluka notes that they are the "ideological orphans" of Raila, committed to translating his vision into action.

A New Era for ODM 

As the party navigates the post-Raila era, the question on everyone's mind is: can these young leaders unite the party and carry forward Raila's legacy Prof. Muluka emphasizes that leadership transitions are a natural part of sustaining a vibrant democracy and that the performance of these emerging leaders will define the legacy of one of Kenya's most influential statesmen.

The Challenge Ahead:

The road ahead won't be easy, with visible cracks within ODM over its future direction. However, with leaders like Sifuna, Owino, and Amisi at the helm, the party has a chance to reinvent itself and continue to inspire Kenyans. As Prof. Muluka notes, "The country will be watching to see if these leaders can step out of the shadows and demonstrate the courage, resilience, and reformist spirit that Raila embodied.
