Leadership disputes within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in Kakamega came to light during a delegates' meeting, with delegates questioning the identity of the party's county chairperson amidst a parallel meeting held by a faction allied to the G8 grouping.

• A faction led by former Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya convened a parallel meeting in Butere, attended by Kakamega Woman Representative Elsie Muhanda and several MPs, who skipped the official meeting.
• ODM party leader Oburu Odinga attended the Butere meeting first before going to the official Kakamega forum, highlighting the internal divisions.
• The Kakamega meeting included senior ODM figures such as Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga and Kisii Governor Simba Arati.
