Let the people’s will prevail, Mr Odinga

It is unfortunate that, in his proposed line-up for ODM leadership, Cord leader Raila Odinga has listed Prof Anyang’ Nyong’o as secretary-general despite the Kisumu senator’s resignation in February.

And this at the expense of Budalang’i MP Ababu Namwamba, who had been slated to take over from Mr Nyong’o. What this implies is that ODM has its “owners”, and is not the mass movement it purports to be.

Democracy must be entrenched from the lowest levels but this, sadly, is not the case with ODM.

Mr Odinga must let party members elect their own leaders, or else his calls for the disbandment of the electoral commission will be deemed insincere and undeserving.
