Tension In ODM As Raila Directs All Elected Leaders Through ODM To Go To Parliament And Do This

News Hub Creator1h

Orange Democratic Movement Party Leader Hon Raila Odinga has issued a strong message to Members of Parliament elected on the party’s ticket, urging them to return to Parliament and focus on enacting laws that safeguard devolution.

His warning comes amid growing concerns that some lawmakers have become detached from their legislative responsibilities, particularly in protecting the interests of county governments.

Hon Odinga emphasized the critical role MPs play in ensuring the success and sustainability of devolved governance, which he described as a cornerstone of Kenya’s democratic framework.

He criticized the apparent complacency and political maneuvering by some legislators, stating that failure to prioritize devolution could have electoral consequences.

The remarks are being interpreted as a signal of tightening internal discipline within ODM as the party positions itself ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The push for legislative action on devolution also reflects broader national debates on resource allocation, county autonomy, and service delivery.

With political realignments already in motion, ODM MPs are now under pressure to align with the party’s core agenda or risk losing their political footing in the next election cycle.
