The ODM Youth League challenges Harold Kipchumba's recent appointment as nominated MP. IEBC gazetted Kipchumba on July 24, 2025, to replace John Mbadi after his Treasury Cabinet Secretary appointment. Youth League National President John Ketora and deputy Martin Muthusi spearhead the opposition. The leaders claim IEBC erred by selecting someone from the disability category rather than choosing Ketora from the workers list. They demand the commission reverse this decision immediately.
Edwin Sifuna, ODM Secretary General, wrote to IEBC on July 25, 2025, requesting Ketora receive the position. The letter referenced constitutional provisions and electoral laws supporting their claim. IEBC maintains its appointment followed proper legal procedures. Kipchumba, a polio survivor and disability advocate, represents significant progress for parliamentary disability representation. The Youth League promises to pursue legal and political remedies against this nomination.
