ODM Party Leader Oburu Oginga has expressed frustration with some members of the party’s Central Committee who publicly contradict resolutions passed during meetings.
Speaking during the ongoing National Executive Committee (NEC) session in Mombasa, Oburu emphasized that unity and adherence to agreed positions are crucial for the party’s stability and credibility.
“I am not very happy that when we pass resolutions here, some of the members go out to say contrary to what we have agreed,” Oburu stated firmly.
He noted that such actions undermine the party’s cohesion and dilute the collective voice that ODM seeks to project to the public.
Party insiders say the remarks appear to be directed at certain leaders who have, in recent weeks, publicly expressed divergent views on strategic party issues, despite internal consensus.
During the meeting, Oburu also underscored the importance of consistent messaging and the need for all members to rally behind the party’s official stance. “We must speak with one voice.
When members go against our resolutions, it sends a wrong signal to Kenyans and weakens our negotiating position,” he added.

The NEC session, chaired by Oburu, is also expected to discuss internal reforms, succession planning, and strategies to strengthen party structures at the grassroots level.
Observers say the show of stern leadership by Oburu is likely aimed at quelling any emerging factionalism within ODM, a party that has faced public disagreements among its top brass in recent years.
The party discipline is often a balancing act in major political parties, especially when individual ambitions clash with collective decisions.
By addressing the issue publicly, Oburu is signaling that ODM intends to enforce cohesion and hold its leaders accountable for any actions that contravene party resolutions.
As the NEC session continues, attention will be on whether the concerned members heed the warning and align with party directives or if the disagreements escalate further. For now, Oburu’s message is clear: ODM expects unity, consistency, and loyalty from its top leadership.
