The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has dedicated the entire month of October to the memory of its founder, the late Raila Amolo Odinga, marking one year since his death.

In a press statement on Thursday, September 10, the party said October would be observed as "Mwezi Wa Baba" (Baba's Month), in honour of Odinga's contribution to Kenya's democracy and his pan-Africanism.

"It was a tearful moment; we were all heartbroken. God plucked the best flower from our midst," the party said.
