ODM Official Dies
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party is grieving the loss of its Mombasa County Organizing Secretary, Peter “Rainbow” Odhiambo.
Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir confirmed Odhiambo’s passing on the night of Thursday, October 9.
In a heartfelt condolence message on behalf of ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga, Governor Nassir remembered Odhiambo as a passionate mobilizer who was deeply committed to justice and unity within the party.
“On behalf of our Party Leader, H. E. Raila Amolo Odinga, I convey our deepest condolences to the ODM family and the people of Mombasa following the passing of our County Organizing Secretary, Peter “Rainbow” Odhiambo.
“Peter was a committed and passionate party mobilizer whose dedication to the ideals of justice, unity, and service left an indelible mark on the ODM movement in Mombasa and beyond. His energy, loyalty, and unwavering belief in the cause of the people will be sorely missed,” Nassir stated.
The Mombasa Governor also extended his condolences to Odhiambo’s family, friends, and the entire ODM fraternity.
“We join his family, friends, and the entire ODM fraternity in mourning this great comrade. May his memory continue to inspire us to strengthen the movement he so faithfully served. May his soul rest in eternal peace,” he added.
Odhiambo’s passing comes just a few months after ODM experienced the loss of two of its long-standing members, Shadrack Arap Siele and Mama Everlyne Cheluget.
In a heartfelt statement, ODM paid tribute to Siele, who was not only a loyal ally of Raila but also a foundational figure for ODM in Kericho County.
“A good soul has flown away to be with the Lord. Mzee Shadrack Arap Siele was not new to Orange House and presently Chungwa House. An old and trusted friend of the Party Leader, Raila Odinga, A patriarch of his family, and the father of ODM in Kericho and South Rift. RIP Mzee Siele,” ODM stated.
The party also mourned Chelugut as a founder and life member of the party from Uasin Gishu County.
ODM said Chelugut took part in the activities of the party and was active in its operations until the week of her demise.
“She has, until her death last week, been an active member of the party and always participated in party activities. ODM has lost a gem, a loving and caring mother,” the party stated.
