Political commentator Benji Ndolo has shared his thoughts on the ongoing discussions about the advice Winnie Odinga will seek as she takes on a more prominent role in her party.
Ndolo argues that Siaya Governor James Orengo is one of the few individuals she can rely on for genuine guidance.
He emphasizes that Orengo has earned significant respect from the Odinga family over the years through his unwavering loyalty to her father .
And his consistent support, which has provided real comfort to the seasoned politician.
He points out that the connection between Orengo and the late Raila Odinga goes beyond public displays of solidarity.
Orengo has been there during tough times and has also celebrated the key milestones that have defined Raila's lengthy political career.
Given this history, Ndolo believes that Winnie is likely to see Orengo as a trustworthy source of advice, one who truly understands her father's core values.
He also notes that Winnie is stepping into an arena filled with varying opinions and changing political dynamics.
In such a setting, she will need reliable voices that prioritize the party's future over personal ambitions.
Ndolo contends that Orengo is well-suited for this role and will continue to be a guiding presence as she undertakes her leadership duties within ODM.
