Omanga lauds Raila for 'true nationalism' and leadership

Former nominated senator Millicent Omanga has praised ODM leader Raila Odinga for his unwavering dedication to rewarding loyalty and standing by his longtime allies.

In a statement on her official X account on Friday, March 21, 2025, Omanga lauded Odinga for cultivating a strong political movement by ensuring that those who have supported him over the years are recognized and not left behind.

“One of Baba Raila Odinga’s most commendable traits is his steadfast commitment to honoring loyalty and standing with those who have supported him,” she stated.

Omanga praised the former Prime Minister not only for recognizing his loyal supporters but also for his commitment to fair representation across regions, gender inclusivity, and experienced leadership.

She emphasized his dedication to advocating for the inclusion of women and marginalized groups in key decision-making roles.

"What stands out even more is his ability to strike a balance between regional diversity, gender equality, and leadership experience. Raila embodies true nationalism, always working to ensure that every community feels represented," she remarked.

She noted that Odinga’s unwavering commitment to recognizing dedication and loyalty is admirable, emphasizing that his leadership approach continues to win him widespread support.

The comments come weeks after Odinga and President William Ruto signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ruto’s UDA party, establishing a framework for cooperation ahead of the 2027 elections.
