ODM Holds Tense National Executive Council Meeting in Mombasa Amid Push to Expel Members

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is holding a potentially tense National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Mombasa. The crisis meeting aims to address escalating internal disputes and recent changes within the Azimio coalition. There are fears the meeting could be used to discipline or expel senior party officials, sometimes referred to as 'rebels'. This showdown comes as a rival faction challenges party leader Oburu Oginga's leadership. The meeting precedes the party’s Coast delegates conference, which is scheduled for later in the day. It is also being held ahead of crucial strategic talks for the 2027 General Election.
