many opt to seek elective seats as independent candidates and on fringe parties.<\/p>\n<p>The ODM leadership fears this may deny it numbers in the Senate, National Assembly and County Assemblies.<\/p>\n<p>ODM leader Raila Odinga is working to ensure his backyard remains intact and party strength is not compromised<\/p>\n<p>In the past, aspirants who have made successful bids have relied on Raila\u2019s clout to win support.<\/p>\n<p>As 2022 draws closer, ODM is racing against time to put its house in order to prevent fallout during nominations.<\/p>\n<p>Some leaders have made a comeback, causing jitters among party stalwarts who have questioned their loyalty.<\/p>\n<p>According to Catherine Muma, the chair of the party\u2019s National Elections Board, the politicians are expected to pay to be ODM life members before they are allowed to contest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur rules are that one has to be a life member before they are allowed to vie on the party\u2019s ticket,\u201d said Ms Muma.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eroded confidence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are fears of a backlash should ODM preside over chaotic nominations as was witnessed in 2013 and 2017.<\/p>\n<p>This eroded members confidence in the nomination exercise and they are reluctant to seek the ODM ticket in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequent wins by some aspirants who ditched the party also gave politicians the confidence to seek other election vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>A number of leaders who contested in past polls as independent candidates yesterday told\u00a0The Standard\u00a0that they are not likely to return to ODM although their support for Raila is unwavering.<\/p>\n<p>Among those who are reluctant to seek ODM ticket include Kisumu East MP Shakeel Shabbir who in 2017 successfully defended his seat as an independent candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will support Raila\u2019s ambitions but I will not return to ODM,\u201d said Shakeel.<\/p>\n<p>Other leaders who contested as independent candidates said they are not certain whether ODM will conduct free and fair nominations for 2022 elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people are still not sure whether the party has addressed flawed nomination process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately if you declare your intentions of not going back to the party now, you will be dubbed a Ruto sympathiser,\u201d said the former MP aspirant.<\/p>\n<p>The Standard\u00a0has established that other party diehards are also warming up to fringe parties should things fail to go according to plan.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2013 polls, Migori Governor Okoth Obado decamped from ODM to People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) and won the election.<\/p>\n<p>There are fears ODM could face a similar scenario if it does not control the ambitions of its foot soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>In the four Nyanza counties, ODM stalwarts with huge following and financial muscle have expressed interest in similar seats.<\/p>\n<p>In Homa Bay, ODM chair John Mbadi, former Kasipul MP Oyugi Magwanga, Woman Rep Gladys Wanga \u2014 who is also the ODM branch chair \u2014 as well as former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero are in the race to succeed Governor Cyprian Awiti.<\/p>\n<p>In Siaya, Senator James Orengo, Ugunja MP Opiyo\u00a0Wandayi and former Rarieda MP Nicholas\u00a0Gumbo\u00a0are eyeing Governor Cornel Rasanga\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n<p>In Kisumu, former Kisumu Central MP Ken Obura, businessman Ochola Kamili as well as Senator Fred Outa are seeking to unseat Governor Anyang\u2019 Nyong\u2019o, who is Raila\u2019s confidant.<\/p>\n<p>The situation was the same in Kisii where the party opted for consensus to pick the candidate for the Bonchari by-election.<\/p>\n<p>Political analyst Dismas Mokua however argues that ODM might not have a free ride in Gusii as voters pay attention to personalities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn other parts of Nyanza, voters are happy to vote for anybody provided they are aligned to Raila.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not unusual to have candidates from all manner of parties with Raila\u2019s\u00a0 image on their portraits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But as ODM battles to lock Nyanza in, fringe parties are trying to attract potential aspirants.<\/p>\n<p>In Gusii, more than 10 parties have cropped up and are marshalling grassroots support to frustrate ODM and Jubilee party which have dominated the region.<\/p>\n<p>Raila lost South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro to Ruto\u2019s camp.Bomachoge Chache MP Alfa Miruka decamped to Kenya National Congress citing frustrations and favouritism in ODM.<\/p>\n<p>All over Nyanza, Ugenya MP\u2019s Movement for Development and Growth (MDG) party, United Democratic Alliance which is allied to Ruto, Ford Kenya, Amani National Coalition, Citizen Conventions Party and Communist party are fighting for a stake in the ODM stronghold.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Raila sought to dismiss the increasing number of independent candidates saying the people fronting them were out to kill multi-partyism which the country fought so hard for.<\/p>\n<p>He urged his backyard to support ODM candidates and has already tasked some of his lieutenants with ensuring that all his foot soldiers are under one roof.<\/p>\n<p>In the past polls, Raila pushed for a \u201cSix Piece\u201d voting pattern for all ODM candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Strategic Communications Adviser Barrack Muluka said there are new generations to whom the old ODM and Odinga messages do not \u2018signify anything.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch is the nature of life. Old guards must reimagine themselves and their mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey must reinvent, repackage and reposition themselves with a breath of freshness,\u201d Muluka said.<\/p>\n<p>But Raila hopes that the push for consensus instead of contested primaries for some seats will help prevent a fallout.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Handpicking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While unveiling ODM candidate Pavel Oimeke for the Bonchari by-elections, secretary-general Edwin Sifuna said that the party is now prioritising consensus to ensure the right candidate flies the party\u2019s flag.<\/p>\n<p>John Momanyi stepped down for Oimeke saying he would support the party\u2019s choice.\u00a0ODM political affairs director Wandayi revealed that he has been tasked with\u00a0luring back members like MP Olago Aluoch (Ford-K), who ditched the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was given the mandate by to talk to some of the members who left the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are hopeful that they will return,\u201d\u00a0he\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders who quit the party after controversial\u00a0nominations\u00a0include former Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo who contested as an independent in the 2017 polls, former Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma, former MPs Agostino Neto (Ndhiwa), Sylvance Osele (Kabondo Kasipul) and Dalmas Otieno (Rongo).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party faces a tough test to win over aspirants as many opt to seek elective seats as independent candidates and on fringe parties.
