ODM Calls Urgent Central Committee Meeting Amid Internal Division Over Broad-Based Government

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has announced that it will hold an urgent Central Committee meeting on Monday to discuss key party matters. The meeting comes at a time when questions have emerged over the party’s position in the broad-based government formed earlier this year.

ODM Deputy Party Leader Abdulswamad Nassir confirmed that the session will be chaired by interim party leader Oburu Odinga. He said the meeting will focus on strengthening internal unity and addressing concerns raised by members over recent developments within the party.

The move follows growing speculation about internal divisions, as some ODM leaders have expressed contrasting opinions on whether the party should continue cooperating with the government. Party insiders say the leadership is keen on restoring harmony and ensuring that all members speak with one voice moving forward.

According to sources close to the ODM Secretariat, the committee will also review the party’s political strategy and evaluate its representation in government. The meeting is expected to set a clear direction for ODM’s engagement in national affairs ahead of upcoming political activities.

The ODM leadership has maintained that any decision made during the meeting will reflect the collective will of the party. A formal statement outlining the resolutions is expected to be released after the session.
