ODM-K Scandinavia Office and the “Wananchi Pavilion” were opened in Stockholm on Saturday January 27th marking the beginning of a new era for the Party. During the ceremony, Mrs Hellen Opwapo, the Party’s Chairlady, addressed the audience.
She thanked Kenyans, friends and supporters for attending the function, underlined the need for the defeat of the Kibaki regime and reminded those who were following events in Kenya about the role ODM-KS will play in bringing change to our country.
She encouraged those present to spread the word about “Wananchi Pavilion”, a Kenyan meeting place which was also opened on the same day.
She said that Kenyans and friends of the late James Wuod Maggero will be meeting at the Pavilion next Saturday to remember the departed Mzee. She regretted the fact that Kenyans had been hit by a series of bereavements this year and hoped that the community will remain united in the face of grief.
After her speech, the floor was opened and those who wanted to speak addressed the gathering. The speeches were followed by an all night disco which ended on Sunday morning. DJ Jimmy was spinning and he ensured good time for the revelers who continued to pour into the Pavilion as late as 4 o’clock in the morning.
