A major fallout is looming in the ODM party after it emerged that key allies of opposition chief Raila Odinga are scrambling for top leadership slots. The positions of his two deputies are said to have triggered squabbles in the party with his close allies clashing over them, exposing growing friction in ODM. The ODM boss made the remarks when he held a meeting with party leaders from the two counties including Kisii Governor Simba Arati at a Nairobi Hotel. Arati is serving as the current ODM vice chairperson while former Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire is the National Treasurer. The jostling for the vacant deputy party leader positions in the ODM party intensified at the Coast over the weekend, threatening to divide the Orange house.
