Yes it seem Odinga will be split; Seem Oburu wing is taking ODM party from under Ida feet.

If Oburu kicks the bucket there will be total chaos. Wanga and Junet are too incompetent to run the party.

Luo might end up as a UDA vs Linda battle.

I dont see it splitting at party level. Ida has lost the party. Ruto has gotten all ODM Big wings - from Simba, Wanga, Joho, Oparanya and all key party planks. Linda & Ida can only splinter the people but party organs seem firmly under control.

We have Sifuna kikuyu-will-support-us wave that we saw in Gusii and ukambani now.

But I dont see serious buy-in. Besides Opp loses Kalonzo its dead on arrival.

Riggy is scorned and committed to revenge against thankless Ruto.
Kizungumkuti is sharing downstream slots - governors, MPs - not D/PORK and ghost PM.
Folks like Nelson Havi have already joined DCP - might be 411 that Nairobi will be zoned for DCP.

Oburu is on his way to the cemetery.

Wewe ni mungu?
We all are on the way there. It is only a question of time.

Oburu is on his way to the cemetery.

ODM is a Ruto party. Luo Elders have given Ruto permission to take it. Next ODM party Chairman is Raila Odinga Jr under the guidance of WSR. Nilotes hapana tambua wa mama in leadership. Winnie, Ida and the rest are flower girls. Winnie Chogo Odinga need to find a man first before seeking Political leadership, that was Luo Elders, not me saying!
