The Orange Democratic Movement is grappling with internal divisions as rival factions push for reforms following the death of party leader Raila Odinga.The debate over succession has sparked calls for dialogue to preserve unity within the party.
During a meeting in Nairobi, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino insisted that ODM leader Oburu Oginga must convene a National Delegates Conference to address leadership reforms. His remarks have fueled concerns that the party’s cohesion could be at risk, with some observers warning ODM may fracture like other political outfits in the past.
Several leaders have linked the turmoil to external pressure, alleging that the ruling United Democratic Alliance is working to weaken ODM’s influence in national politics. Oburu Oginga has sought to calm tensions, stressing that no member will be expelled and that his priority remains safeguarding unity among ODM supporters. He urged patience as the party navigates its leadership transition.
