Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s ODM may after all not go for the vigorous grassroots elections and instead adopt a consensus method to fill in all the vacant positions. According to ODM National Elections Board, the party will only consider voting in of leaders in places where consensus has failed. “Consensus shall be the first method to be applied in the party elections,” read part of communication from NEB chairperson Catherine Mumma to supporters. The elections were to begin from grassroots (polling station), sub branch (ward), branch (constituency), county to the national level. The structures include; Mainstream Party Office, the ODM Women League Office, the ODM Youth League Office and the ODM Disability League Office.
