The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, historically known for its organic supporter turnout, is reportedly facing challenges with internal revolts and a reliance on hired crowds for its rallies.

• The party is allegedly spending millions to mobilize supporters, a significant departure from its past practices.
• Key figures involved include Oburu Oginga, the ODM party leader.
• Internal fault lines and emerging rivalries are reportedly damaging the party's trust among supporters, with inducements becoming common to boost attendance.
