Raila forms ODM elders council to ensure smooth leadership transition
-
Raila Odinga has established a powerful Elders Council organ within ODM party to make decisions in his absence if he wins African Union Commission chairperson position.
-
The Elders Council was approved by ODM's National Executive Council along with expanding the Board of Trustees with new members Amos Wako and Agnes Zani.
-
The moves aim to strengthen ODM governance and prevent mischievous elements from taking over the party when Raila exits.
-
There's intense jockeying within ODM by figures like Joho and Oparanya to succeed Raila as leader.
-
The membership of Elders Council will comprise Raila's most trusted loyalists with unquestionable integrity and no political ambitions to protect party interests.
