Grassroots leaders of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) are demanding the immediate convening of a National Delegates Conference (NDC). They warn that failing to regularize party leadership after the death of longtime party leader Raila Odinga risks plunging the party into uncertainty ahead of the 2027 General Election.

• The Council of County Coordinating Chairs (COCC) stated that a special NDC is required by the ODM constitution to elect a new party leader.
• They affirmed that no talks between ODM and UDA should continue until members are adequately consulted, as was the practice with the late party leader.
• Zebedee Osabwa, the acting chairman of the ODM county chairs, emphasized the need for an immediate NDC for the party to proceed constitutionally.
• The leaders also called for accountability regarding the party's 10-point agenda, urging the Secretary General to issue a status report before its expiry on March 26, 2026.
• Concerns were raised about recent altercations among senior party officials and alleged mismanagement of campaign funds during the 2022 presidential election, calling for a full audit.
