ODM Keen To Retain Western Kenya

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has launched a strategy to reinforce its dominance in Western Kenya, just days after President William Ruto toured the region.
As part of its broader effort to consolidate support, ODM has scheduled a series of grassroots meetings with its branch leaders, aiming to counter UDA’s growing influence.To jumpstart this plan, the party has organised a major convention in Western Kenya on February 28, where over 1,000 delegates are expected to participate. Before the convention, ODM’s top leadership will meet regional leaders on February 9 to lay the groundwork for the gathering.

Additionally, the party has convened a Central Management Committee meeting to address emerging internal divisions regarding its stance on the Kenya Kwanza government and the 2027 elections. On February 27, ODM will hold a leaders’ meeting in Bungoma County, where it plans to open a new party office.
Speaking earlier, ODM Deputy Party Leader Godfrey Osotsi emphasized that the party is working towards a unified position on its relationship with Kenya Kwanza.
"The party, through the Central Management Committee, is going to discuss all the issues and take a common position on any matter," Osotsi said after a leaders’ meeting in Busia on Sunday.
He also announced that ODM will soon roll out a series of party activities in Western Kenya, starting with a regional leaders’ meeting in Kakamega on February 9.
“We have organised a regional convention to bring together 10,000 ODM delegates from Western Kenya on February 28 in Busia county,’’ Osotsi said.
