ODM postpones 20th anniversary celebrations to November

In a statement by Junet Mohammed, ODM@20 planning committee chairman, the party agreed to the request to expand the program to enhance inclusivity. 

Initially scheduled for October 10–12 in Mombasa, the event will now be held from November 14–16, 2025.

"After careful consideration, the Party Leader graciously agreed to our request to expand the program and ensure inclusivity by engaging with more counties before converging in Mombasa for the grand celebrations," the statement read in part. 

"Consequently, the final preparations and main event in Mombasa have been rescheduled to 14th to 16th November 2025." 

The party's celebrations have been hosted in four counties: Busia, Wajir, Kisii and Narok Counties. With the announcement, ODM will extend activities in Kajiado (October 15), Turkana (October 26), Kilifi (November 2) and Nairobi (November 9). 

The party will also hold a soccer tournament as part of the celebrations on October 9-10, 2025. 

"We wish to assure our members, supporters and the general public that the postponement is meant to strengthen our outreach, deepen inclusivity and ensure that this milestone in our party's history is celebrated by all Kenyans, in line with our values of unity, democracy and participation," Junet noted. 

"We thank all our stakeholders, partners and supporters for their continued patience and unwavering commitment as we continue to build a stronger ODM family."
