The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) faces internal division as a planned National Delegates Convention (NDC) on March 27 is challenged legally, potentially derailing the party's preparations for 2027.

• A legal complaint questions the validity of the NDC notice, arguing it was issued by the Deputy Secretary-General instead of the Secretary-General, as per the party constitution.
• Key figures involved include Oburu Oginga, the party leader, and his critics, including Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna and Siaya Governor James Orengo.
• Further legality concerns are raised regarding the delegate list, as grassroots elections in several counties and national elections for the ODM Women's League and ODM Disability League are reportedly incomplete.

Martha Karua, leader of the People's Liberation Party (PLP), has blamed major political parties like the UDA and ODM for the stalled progress on Kenya's two-thirds gender rule.

• Karua criticized these parties for offering "lip service" to women leaders and limiting their access to party tickets for elective positions.
• She advocates for a 50-50 split of party tickets between men and women to achieve gender parity in leadership.
• Karua also condemned the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2024, calling its proposals retrogressive and a threat to democracy and women's leadership space.

The Azimio coalition has undergone a significant shake-up, purging members perceived as dissidents and reconstituting its leadership councils.

• Junet Mohamed has been replaced as the leader of the Azimio Coalition Parliamentary Group in the National Assembly by Caroli Omondi.
• The purge targeted individuals who have accepted government appointments or supported the current administration, deeming them unfit for leadership within Azimio.
• Notable figures removed from various councils include Cabinet Secretaries Hassan Joho and Wycliffe Oparanya, and nominated MP Sabina Chege.
