The Orange Democratic Movement Party leader, Oburu Oginga, has joined party officials in congratulating the party’s newly elected Members of Parliament after their wins in the by-elections held on Thursday, November 28, 2025, across the country.

 In a statement on his X page on Friday, November 28, 2025, Oburu, who has been conspicuously missing in the limelight, expressed his congratulations to Boyd Were, the MP-elect for Kasipul in Homa Bay County.

Congratulations

The party leader also conveyed a similar message to Harrison Kombe and Moses Omondi.

The pair’s victories in the concluded polls in Magarini and Ugunja, respectively, completed a clean sweep of ODM’s parliamentary contest as the orange party reclaimed seats previously held by its candidates.

“Congratulations to our ODM candidates Moses Omondi (Ugunja), Boyd Were (Kasipul), and Harrison Kombe (Magarini) for your great and well-deserved by-election victories. Your wins are a show of the trust and confidence the people have placed in your leadership and @TheODMparty,” he stated.

In an early Friday, November 28, 2025, declaration, Returning Officer Rebecca Abwaku announced the results of Kasipul that confirmed Were as the winner.

Other ODM victories

He garnered an impressive 16,819 votes, securing a clear lead over his closest competitor, Philip Nashon Aroko, an independent candidate, who garnered 8,476 votes.

His party, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), braved the chilly morning to take to the streets to celebrate their victory in the Kasipul by-election by traversing streets of Mumbo and Oyugis.

Meanwhile, IEBC also confirmed the win of Moses Omondi in Ugunja.

Omondi claimed a commanding victory, securing 9,227 votes in a race that witnessed a relatively low turnout from across Siaya County.

His closest challenger, Orodi Odhiambo of the Wiper Party, garnered 1,819 votes, while Fredrick Ochiel of UDM came third with 1,200 votes.

Other candidates included Benson Obol Otieno (United Green Movement) with 1,171, Maurice Okumu of the Liberal Party Movement (381), Vincent Olengo of Kenya Moja (333), Chris Budo of KANU (188), Lilian Akinyi of the National Alliance Party (182), Erick Ofiro of the Jubilee Party (91) and Oliver Ochieng of the National Liberal Party (56).
