Siaya Governor James Orengo has laid out four stringent conditions for reconciliation with ODM party leader Dr Oburu Oginga, signaling a deepening rift within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). The dispute impacts the party's direction in the post-Raila Odinga era.

• Governor Orengo demands a structured framework for talks, commitment to ODM's founding ideals, and a neutral arbitration team excluding the current Luo Council of Elders.
• He also requires Dr Oginga to relinquish his Party Leader position to allow other presidential hopefuls to contest.
• This internal conflict highlights a divide within Nyanza, with Governor Orengo and allies forming the Linda Mwananchi faction, while Dr Oburu Oginga is backed by figures like ODM Chairperson Gladys Wanga and National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohamed.
