Showdown Looms As ODM Threatens To Expel These Members After Man Was Hacked During Major Party Event

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has raised the alarm over incidents of violence reported during its ongoing grassroots elections. The party has cautioned that individuals found instigating chaos risk immediate expulsion.

The warning follows a disturbing incident in Homa Bay County, where a man’s hand was reportedly severed in a violent clash. Other cases of disruption have emerged in Nairobi and Nakuru, prompting swift investigations by both party officials and law enforcement.

ODM’s national elections are being held at the ward level before progressing to the constituency stage. These elections, conducted through a show of hands or simple census methods, are being overseen by county-level committees.

Despite the isolated cases, the party maintains that the process has so far been largely peaceful, with only three out of 1,450 wards reporting incidents. According to the party’s leadership, the high turnout and general calm reflect ODM’s commitment to internal democracy and adherence to the Political Parties Act.

As the elections move to the next phase on Wednesday, the party is keen to ensure that only elected ward delegates participate in the constituency-level process. The leadership has emphasized that discipline and order are non-negotiable.

ODM is positioning these grassroots elections as a cornerstone for building stronger, more accountable local leadership. The party insists that it will not tolerate acts of intimidation or violence aimed at influencing the outcome of the vote.
