Hard truths. Bold Insights. Real talk.
Speaking during a Radio Generation interview on Monday, Alai acknowledged the successful organisation of a recent party event, (ODM SDC), describing it as “very well managed” and “very procedural,” with strict security checks for both vehicles and attendees.
Wetang’ula noted that ODM, now part of the broad-based government, is poised for renewed stability and growth following a brief period of uncertainty after the death of its leader Raila Odinga.
In a statement issued on Sunday by National Assembly Minority Leader and ODM party Director of Campaigns, Junet Mohamed, the party said the reports were “a deliberate attempt to misinform the public and diminish the credibility of our party.”
Osotsi maintained that the resolutions emerging from the contested NDC “do not reflect the will of party members,” insisting that “the meeting that purported to effect leadership changes was fundamentally flawed, having not adhered to party constitution and attended by individuals who did not constitute genuine party delegates.”
ODM deputy leader Abdulswamad Nassir defended the party’s dialogue strategy at a Nairobi convention, urging unity behind new leader Oburu Oginga and insisting criticism will not derail ODM’s mission.
Winnie Odinga used ODM’s Special Delegates Convention in Nairobi to urge reconciliation, youth inclusion and grassroots empowerment, warning the party risks leaving ordinary Kenyans behind without internal reforms.
ODM delegates in Nairobi have confirmed Oburu Oginga as party leader and endorsed new deputy leaders, while dropping Senator Godfrey Osotsi, after ratifying National Governing Council resolutions.
ODM chair Gladys Wanga has urged unity, discipline and internal cohesion at a special delegates convention in Nairobi as the party navigates a critical transition after Raila Odinga’s death.
Suna East MP Junet Mohamed says ODM posts will only be held by officials ratified by delegates at the Jamhuri SDC, with unapproved positions declared vacant amid an internal Sifuna dispute.
ODM factions led by Edwin Sifuna and the Linda Mwananchi camp held rival conventions in Nairobi despite a police blockade, exposing a deepening leadership and constitutional dispute within the party.
Kaluma explained that the initiative focuses on strengthening internal systems while guarding against rival parties seeking to gain influence in ODM strongholds. According to him, the party must first secure its existing support before attempting to expand into new regions.
Speaking on Radio Generation ahead of Friday’s National Delegates Conference (NDC), Kaluma emphasized that the gathering will affirm the party’s leadership, resolve internal disputes, and allow delegates from across the country to validate or challenge decisions.
