ODM, Jubilee Set Same Dates for Party NDCs Amid Speculation of Possible Merger
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has set its National Delegates Conference (NDC) on the same date as Jubilee's amid rumours the two outfits are headed for a merger before the August 9 polls
The announcement was made by Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna on Friday, February 4, who indicated that the party would hold its NDC on the 25th and 26th of February at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.
“Pursuant to Article 7.2 as read together with Article 7.5.3 (d) of the Orange Democratic Movement constitution, a National Delegates Convention shall be held on the 25th and 26th February 2022 at the Nyayo National Stadium from 9.00 am,” he said.
Sifuna stated that during the conference, the party would review the conference agenda and confirm the minutes of the NDC held on March 17, 2017, at the Kasarani indoor gymnasium where Raila was endorsed as the presidential candidate.
ODM also made a list of invited guests who will grace the event.
This follows Raila’s endorsement by the Azimio la Umoja movement on December 10, 2021, as the presidential flag bearer at the Bomas of Kenya ahead of the August 9 General Election.
The announcement by ODM came after Jubilee Party had on Thursday, February 3, announced it will also hold its NDC on similar days as those now picked by ODM.
Jubilee Party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju said the paty's NDC will be held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi.
Tuju stated that the agenda of the NDC shall be to review, formulate and approve all policies of the party.
Also to be considered at the Jubilee's NDC is the newly proposed seal, symbol, and flag of the party.
Jubilee’s NDC has been among highly-anticipated political events with indications that the governing party could formally kick outDeputy President William Ruto and his allies for criticising the government and the party from within.
