ODM has been sued over alleged plot to create an extra position of deputy party leader for EALA MP Winnie Odinga. He has listed ODM, Winnie, Makadara MP George Aladwa and Registrar of Political Parties as the respondents while seeking the intervention of the court ahead of Friday’s National Delegates Convention (NDC). The complainant says ODM should be stopped from creating any position for Winnie, the last born-daughter of party founder and leader Raila Odinga, as this may entrench dynastic tendencies in political parties. “An unconstitutional precedent of dynastic succession will be established within the Party, whereby party positions may be "inherited" by family members of deceased leaders outside the constitutional electoral processes,” Amuga states. The ODM delegates ‘elevated’ her to the position of "Nairobi's number-one party delegate," a position previously held by her late father Raila, who passed away in October 2025 while she was endorsed for the position of deputy party leader ahead of the Special Delegates Convention.
