NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 2 — The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) will on Friday hold a nationwide candle-lighting ceremony to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of its founding party leader, former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga.
The ceremony will be held simultaneously across the country at 6pm, with Kenyans in the diaspora also expected to participate. ODM says the event will launch a month-long programme dubbed “Mwezi wa Baba”, dedicated to remembering Raila and reflecting on his political journey and public life.
In Nairobi, the main event will be held at Uhuru Park, with activities beginning at 3pm before the nationwide candle-lighting at 6pm. The Nairobi programme is expected to run into the evening.
