Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 22762, member: 2262"] The Orange Democratic Movement, or ODM, wants to keep pushing the government to do better in the new year. Oduor Ong'wen, the party leader, shared this message for 2025. ODM will support plans and actions that improve Kenyans' lives. The party also asked the people to stay united, believing this is the way to solve the country's problems. "As 2025 comes, we urge Kenyans to have hope and come together. We can only beat the challenges if we work as one. The nation must come first," part of the message said. ODM promised to hold the government accountable. However, it will also suggest realistic answers to the issues people face. Mr. Ong'wen looked back at what the party did this year. He said ODM stuck to its core values, which include democracy, fairness for all, and inclusion. In 2024, ODM reconnected with its supporters. It held elections at the local level, which helped the party better understand and express what the people wanted. The party director said ODM has fought for justice and election changes, as well as defended the sharing of power. The party wants to improve Kenya. He thanked everyone who helped ODM, including party members, fans, and anyone who agreed with the party's values. ODM knows many Kenyans are struggling. The cost of living is high, and many can't find jobs. Some groups have a harder time than others. The party vowed to keep working hard. It wants all Kenyans to have a good quality of life. This means access to jobs, health care, and schooling. As 2024 ends and 2025 begins, Mr. Ong'wen wishes everyone well. He did this for ODM and its temporary leader, Anyang Nyong'o. He said the past year brought challenges, but it also brought growth and a new drive to push ahead. The party and the nation went through it together. [/QUOTE]
