Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, speaking on behalf of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), has announced that the party will not issue direct nomination tickets for the 2027 General Election.

• Asparants must campaign and earn ODM tickets through hard work and engagement with voters.
• The party aims to stem defections and preserve its dominance in Nyanza by ensuring free, fair, and transparent nominations.
• Previously, ODM has used methods including direct nominations and consensus, which sometimes led to disputes and independent candidacies.
