By Joel Masibo, October 28, 2025National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed visited the grave of the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga at the Kang’o Ka Jaramogi to condole with the family on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, 13 days after the late Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader was buried.
In his X statement shortly after the visit, Junet confirmed that the widow of the former PM is growing strong amid the loss. Raila Odinga died on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, while undergoing treatment in India. He was accorded a state burial on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at his Bondo home, Siaya County.
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.
Bondo visit
”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 has confirmed that the party is united. Speaking shortly after the party convened a Central Committee on Monday, October 27, 2025, the Suna East 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.
ODM-UDA pact
”We remain united, steadfast and committed to the partnership between the ODM Party and UDA, and will continue to support the broad-based government under H.E. President William Samoei Ruto.”
“We have laid to rest The Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga in a befitting send-off honouring one who now joins the eternal guardians of our nation’s aspirations. In the lessons we learnt under him, ideas, courage, forthrightness and pragmatism will shape the future,” Junet said.
