Speaking during a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee in Mombasa, ODM Party Leader Oburu Oginga stressed that the focus is on consolidating the party and preparing for negotiations with current and potential partners. We agreed that as a party, we are not in a hurry to say one term. Oburu explained that ODM would first engage with its existing partners, including the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). The party leader’s remarks come as ODM navigates the political landscape following the passing of its long-serving leader, Raila Amolo Odinga. The ODM leader emphasised the principle of democracy within the party.
