Notable leaders have been streaming to Raila Odinga’s home, paying him homage at his grave. Retired president Uhuru Kenyatta, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and other political leaders from the government and the opposition have visited the resting place of Raila Odinga, two weeks after he was laid to rest.

”I have this afternoon returned to Bondo to commiserate with Mama Ida Odinga as we continue to mourn and come to terms with the great loss of Baba, Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. Mama Ida is keeping strong, and we wish her fortitude and good health. Baba is eternally in our hearts,” Junet Mohamed said.

On matters ODM, Junet Mohamed has confirmed that the party is united. Speaking shortly after the party convened a Central Committee on Monday, October 27, 2025, the Suna East Member of Parliament (MP) said the particular gathering was meant to set the agenda for the future of the ODM party, even as members continue to mourn and celebrate the life of their late leader Raila Amolo Odinga, insisting on working with the Kenya Kwanza government ahead of the 2027 election.
