She is known for her vocal nature, and her no nonsense characteristic, at times even going for male politicians considered more influential and powerful.

Suba North Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo is also known to take nothing lying down, no matter who her challenger is, a character the nation needs to keep the government on toes.

Her latest victim being President Uhuru Kenyatta whom she repeatedly tore into, Odhiambo demonstrated that she cannot be intimidated, no matter how big the person on the other side is.

With the looming exit of opposition leader Raila Odinga from active politics due to old age and numerous defeats, the vocal parliamentarian seems the best to take over.

Having gained popularity due to her lengthy tenure, Millie has all the required experience to lead in that capacity, and has also grown in the feet of Odinga and, therefore, knows well what to do and when.

With such a person as Raila’s successor, the opposition will have a smooth continuation, unlike if it were to pick someone else who will start by taking long periods to study the battle field.

Also, surrounded by equally vocal and vigorous colleagues like Homa Bay Woman Representative Gladys Wanga and Rosa Buyu of Kisumu, she will have the needed support to implement her duties.

Finally, having spent most of her political life in the opposition, she is unlikely to stop until what is needed is done and cannot be bought over and silenced as she knows exactly what opposition supporters are going through.
