A master mobiliser, savvy negotiator, and fiery debater, Ogeto has found a trusted political partner in nominated MCA Hon. Perpertua Mpojiwa, fondly called Perps<\/em>. Alongside constituency SG Sammy Nyaranga, a dyed-in-the-wool ODM loyalist, the trio has been quietly rebuilding ODM\u2019s grassroots machinery in Dagoretti North \u2014 a development that surely brings a smile to Raila Odinga\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During last year\u2019s grassroots polls, Ogeto and Perps were the most sought-after party leaders across the constituency\u2019s five wards. Their coordination has kept the orange flame burning brightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Historically, Dagoretti North has been treated as \u201chome ground\u201d by Raila. In 2022, he personally handed Hon. Beatrice Elachi a direct ODM ticket, sidestepping divisive primaries that could have handed UDA an opening. That brand of tactical thinking is now inspiring Ogeto and Perps to push for stronger party structures \u2014 from polling centres up to the constituency level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cODM values internal democracy. But without loyalty to the party\u2019s ideals and the courage to serve beyond comfort zones, leadership becomes a mirage,\u201d<\/em> says Patrick Sabula, a long-time party loyalist.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n With ODM\u2019s constituency-level elections set for August 15, local chatter has shifted to the looming political face-off between Hon. Elachi and Hon. Ogeto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ogeto\u2019s rise has been guided by a personal mantra borrowed from Robert Greene\u2019s 48 Laws of Power<\/em>: \u201cDemonstrate results instead of debating them.\u201d<\/em> This action-first style has struck a chord with Dagoretti North voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entering politics straight from university, Ogeto has walked the fine line between ethnic interests and party loyalty. A son of the larger Gusii community, he still threw his full weight behind ODM\u2019s MP candidate in the last election \u2014 refusing to back UDA\u2019s Mwalimu Oyongo or independent candidate Elijah Oenga despite pressure from both camps. This defiance cemented his appeal to both \u201ctribeless\u201d youth and seasoned ODM loyalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fresh off his allies\u2019 victory in Kileleshwa, Ogeto is now being quietly touted for the Dagoretti North MP seat. Given his past electoral record and strong goodwill, few doubt he will retain the constituency chairmanship \u2014 and perhaps position himself for something bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the Good Morning Kenya political desk<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When the ODM Party announced repeat elections in Kileleshwa Ward and other parts of the country, many thought it was just another internal exercise.

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFresh from his allies\u2019 triumph in Kileleshwa, Ogeto is now being quietly tipped for the Dagoretti North MP seat. With a proven electoral track record and strong political goodwill, many believe he will easily retain the constituency chairmanship \u2014 and possibly set his sights even higher.
All eyes now turn to 15 August 2025, when ODM holds its constituency elections and Ogeto goes head-to-head with incumbent MP Hon. Beatrice Elachi.
