ODM is closing ranks, telling everyone to stick together before making any deals. Party leader Oburu Odinga stated the Orange Democratic Movement has no plans to expel members, emphasizing internal unity as its primary strength. He argued the party must approach coalition negotiations from a position of power, leveraging its size and national structures. Odinga confirmed plans to engage with other parties, starting with the United Democratic Alliance.
He reiterated support for the existing broad-based government arrangement. The party welcomes internal debate but will actively safeguard its organizational cohesion as a strategic priority. Odinga announced intentions to tour the country, meeting officials to discuss strengthening the party. This follows a central committee directive to immediately begin structured preparations for the next general election.
The committee mandated the party leader to initiate formal negotiations with other political formations. It also emphasized policy development and candidate preparedness as key goals. These steps aim to position the party not just to contest but to form the next administration. The moves occur amidst internal tensions and questions regarding the party's future direction.
