ODM names Arati, Osotsi, and Nassir as new deputy party leaders in fresh leadership changes.
ODM has settled on governors Simba Arati and Abdulswamad Nassir and Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi as its deputy party leaders.
The party also retained Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as secretary general and the party spokesperson.
Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has been picked to replace John Mbadi as the national chairman.
The changes were made on Friday during the Central Management Committee meeting chaired by party leader Raila Odinga.
Raila chaired the meeting to unveil a new leadership lineup to fill vacant positions following the appointment to Cabinet of Hassan Joho, Wycliffe Oparanya and John Mbadi.
“These vacancies have attracted immense interest from across our membership. We wish to thank all those who offered themselves to serve acknowledging that many of them have already been of great service to the party,” Sifuna said in a statement.
“Whilst not all of us can lead at the same time, we wish to encourage those who may not get the nod that there will always be space for all of you to contribute.”
