The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has filed a preliminary objection at the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) to strike out a complaint filed by Edwin Sifuna, arguing it is premature and the tribunal lacks jurisdiction.

• ODM contends that the dispute, concerning internal party governance and National Executive Committee decisions, has not exhausted the party's Internal Dispute Resolution Mechanisms (IDRM) as required by law.
• Key entities involved are the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and Edwin Sifuna.
• The party cites a Court of Appeal decision emphasizing the doctrine of exhaustion of internal remedies before seeking external recourse.
