Senator Oburu Oginga dares ODM rebels to challenge him at the National Delegates Conference, setting the stage for a showdown between the party's old guard and the "Young Turks."
Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga has thrown down the gauntlet to the youthful ODM rebels calling for his retirement. "If you want my seat, come and take it at the National Delegates Conference (NDC)," he dared, signaling that the Odinga family will not cede control of the party without a fight.
Oburu’s challenge is directed at Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and his cohort, who have been agitating for a generational overhaul of the party leadership. They argue that Oburu represents the "status quo" that is holding ODM back.
Oburu knows the chessboard. The NDC is typically populated by loyalist delegates handpicked by the old guard. By inviting the rebels to the conference, he is luring them onto his home turf where he controls the referees.
ODM is teetering on the brink of a civil war between its past and its future. Oburu’s defiance ensures that the next NDC will be a bruising, perhaps bloody, affair.
