Can Oburu Odinga fill Raila's shoes?

Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga did not know he had been made the acting party leader of his late brother’s Orange Democratic Movement when the decision was made, he said in a recent televised interview.

Walking in Raila Odinga’s shadow as long as he had, and in their late father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga’s, Dr Oburu hardly needed a heads-up to take over the party’s leadership if it came to that, as it did with the former prime minister’s passing.
