Oparanya hosted a delegation of Busia ODM Members of Parliament at his office on Tuesday, November 10, for discussions centred on the party’s position in the county and its wider political strategy in Western Kenya.
The meeting brought together ODM Secretary-General and Busia Woman Representative Catherine Omanyo, Budalangi MP Rafael Wanjala, Matayos MP Geoffrey Odanga, Butula MP Joseph Oyula and Teso North MP Oku Kaunya.
According to details of the meeting, the leaders discussed strategies aimed at strengthening and consolidating ODM’s presence in Busia and the wider Western region. They also deliberated on matters of national importance and the need for greater coordination between elected leaders and party officials.
Following the meeting, Oparanya expressed confidence in ODM’s political position in the county, declaring that the party remained strong and enduring in Busia.
The engagement comes at a time when ODM is seeking to reinforce its grassroots networks and maintain unity among its elected leaders as political activity intensifies ahead of the 2027 elections.
Oparanya has in recent months taken an increasingly active role in efforts to strengthen ODM structures across Western Kenya.
He previously attended an ODM delegates’ consultative meeting in Funyula, Busia County, where he called for greater participation by elected leaders and party officials.
The former Kakamega governor has also been involved in broader consultations aimed at strengthening political ties between the Luo and Luhya communities, which have historically provided significant support to ODM.
His recent engagements with members of the Odinga family and community elders have focused on preserving the longstanding relationship between the two communities and strengthening ODM as a political vehicle.
The latest meeting with Busia MPs therefore signals continued efforts to keep ODM’s organisational machinery active in Western Kenya.
With the 2027 General Election approaching, the party faces the task of maintaining its influence while navigating internal political differences and competing formations seeking support in the region.
