Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is growing in storm after the party’s Youth League rejected the gazettement of Harold Kipchumba Kimuge as a nominated MP to replace John Mbadi.
On Monday, July 28, 2025, a section of ODM members accused the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) of disregarding the nomination of John Ketora to the role.
Ketora, the President of the Youth League, claimed that the Commission ignored his nomination despite meeting the requirements for consideration.
He went on to issue ODM with a one-week ultimatum to address what they termed an ‘injustice’. Ketora warned that failure by the party to resolve the matter would prompt him to direct the youth under their banner on the next course of action.
“We will advocate for this up to where it will take us. Even if it means leaving ODM. We are not short of parties,” warned David Kimutai, a member of the ODM Youth League.
