ODM Announces Date For NDC, Leadership Changes Hinted
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has declared that it will hold its National Delegates Convention (NDC) in October 2025, a major event that will pave the way for the 2027 General Elections.
The party intends to use the NDC to elect national party officials.
This is an occasion for the party to refresh or replace its leadership as it prepares for the next elections.
In addition, the NDC will examine and adopt party policy stances, receive reports from various organs, and plan the party’s political course for the next electoral cycle.
“The Central Committee set October 2025 as the month for convening the National Delegates Convention (NDC),” the statement by the party, signed by Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, read in part.

“The NDC will, among other matters, consider reports from party organs, review and adopt party policy positions, elect national officials, and chart the path forward in readiness for the 2027 General Elections.”
During the same meeting, the ODM Central Committee approved a countrywide programme for the party’s 20th anniversary celebrations (ODM@20).
The celebration will take place across all counties, culminating in a large national event in October.
The ceremonies will focus on the party’s history, accomplishments, and future plans.
Elections Repeat
Following concerns and disputes over the initial poll, the party has ordered fresh elections in Kwale, Taita Taveta, and Kileleshwa Wards in Nairobi’s Dagoretti North district.
The party declared that its Central Committee, chaired by party leader Raila Odinga, has decided to annul the previous results and hold new elections at all levels, from polling units to branch levels.
The repeat elections will be held between August 11 and 15, 2025, under the supervision of the National Elections Coordinating Committee (NECC) and the Party Secretariat.

The decision was made in response to internal reviews and reports from the impacted areas, which highlighted inconsistencies and concerns raised by party members during the grassroots election process.
“However, after deliberating on reports from the counties of Kwale and Taita Taveta as well as Kileleshwa Ward in Dagoretti North, Nairobi City County, the Committee resolved that elections in those two counties be repeated from the polling unit level up to the branch level,” the statement added.
The party fired all county election coordinators in Nairobi County in early April, just before the grassroots elections.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, April 2, the party’s SG Sifuna acknowledged the expulsion of the chair of the elections coordinators in Migori and other coordinators in Siaya counties.
