Cynthia Masibo 
Nairobi County’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Women’s League is poised for significant transformation as Rosemary Okuta emerges as the leading candidate vying for the chairlady position. After nearly twenty years under the current leadership, party members are rallying behind a call for fresh perspectives, innovative strategies, and a revitalized vision that resonates with the rapidly changing political landscape.
The league, which has been a key platform for women’s political engagement and empowerment in the county, is believed to now need a leadership style that genuinely prioritizes the needs of its members and the wider community over individual ambitions. This growing consensus has created an opening for new leadership that champions inclusivity, good governance, and a servant-leader approach.

Rosemary Okuta has stepped into this gap with a clear message: she is committed to driving transformation based on transparency, accountability, and active participation. Unlike traditional political brokers, Okuta positions herself as a servant leader dedicated to representing the interests of Nairobi’s women with both dignity and purpose. Her candidacy, her supporters say, reflects a break from the status quo and a move toward people-centered leadership.

At the heart of Okuta’s campaign is a vision to elevate the ODM Women’s League into a more vibrant, united, and effective movement. She aims to strengthen the voice of women within Nairobi’s political discourse through leadership that embraces integrity, courage, and commitment. Okuta is committed to fostering a league that not only advocates for women’s rights but also plays a critical role in shaping county policies that affect their lives.

Supporters of Rosemary Okuta describe her entry into the race as a timely and much-needed intervention. They argue that her leadership could mark the beginning of a new chapter for the league, one where innovation and inclusivity are not just buzzwords but guiding principles. They believe that her approach will build broad-based support that transcends traditional factional lines and encourages active engagement from women across Nairobi.

If elected as chairlady, Okuta intends to embark on a transformative journey within the league. Among her goals are implementing modern strategies that reflect the evolving social realities faced by women in the county, enhancing the league’s governance structures, and fostering partnerships that amplify its impact. Central to her agenda is the commitment to put people first, ensuring that all decisions and initiatives directly benefit the grassroots membership.

The Nairobi ODM Women’s League has for years been a crucial platform for nurturing women leaders and influencing political outcomes in the county. The prospect of leadership change has energized members who feel it is time for a reset that aligns the league with contemporary challenges and opportunities.

As the election draws nearer, the momentum behind Rosemary Okuta’s candidature continues to build. Her message of servant leadership and renewal resonates widely, reflecting the aspirations of many women eager to see their concerns elevated and addressed in meaningful ways.

In conclusion, the Nairobi County ODM Women’s League stands at a crossroads. With Rosemary Okuta emerging as the favored candidate for chairlady, a new era beckons one marked by a commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusive leadership. Supporters affirm that the time for change has truly arrived, and Okuta is ready to lead the league into a promising future filled with hope and progress.
