East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP Winnie Odinga has announced her intention to contest the Nairobi senatorial seat in the 2027 General Election.
Winnie made the announcement on Thursday, October 15, during the first anniversary commemoration of her late father, former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga, at Migwena Cultural Grounds.
Referencing incumbent Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s pursuit of higher political office, she declared her intention to enter the race, stating, “I am going with young people.”
Her announcement places her at the centre of the emerging political contest for Nairobi’s Senate seat as political realignments continue within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the wider political movement associated with her late father.
