Oburu is stop gap.
ODM needs him - to prevent a power struggle so soon.
He buys ODM time.
He is dying soon - so has no ambition to be party leader.
Oburu will ensure ODM-UDA coalition happens.
Those opposed who are the minority like Sifuna & Babus will have to shortly decide.
Because they will be knocked out from party.
ODM-Gov side have money and the delegates to pass any resolutions.
Ruto himself will from now be taking keener and direct interest in ODM - unlike before there is no Raila to fear.
So Ruto will be buying and influencing ODM delegates - with jobs, money and inducements.
So Sifuna and company will be fired and they can form their own party.
RV Pundit when you drop the usual hubris thinking Ruto has a magic wand to stop gravity.
How can senile Oburu solve anything? In Luo alone he is too old and could soon drop dead. He has no energy to run the ship.
Worse is the BIG non-Luo Raila base - totally outside of Oburu's capacity.
Oburu Odinga is glaringly unfit for ODM Party Leader.
