The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has moved swiftly to address circulating reports that it had been evicted from its party headquarters, terming the claims “false and misleading.”
In a statement released on Wednesday, ODM officials emphasized that the party continues to operate normally from its Orange House offices in Kilimani, Nairobi. The statement clarified that no government authority or landlord has forcibly removed the party from its premises.
“The reports of eviction are unfounded and appear to be politically motivated,” said the ODM Secretary-General. “ODM remains committed to serving Kenyans and will not be distracted by baseless claims aimed at undermining the party.”
The clarification comes amid internal party changes, including the recent removal of Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC). The leadership shake-up has sparked debate among members, some of whom are challenging the process and calling for unity within the party.
Political analysts note that the rumors may have been fueled by ongoing factional disputes within ODM as the party positions itself ahead of the 2027 general elections. ODM leadership has urged members to remain calm and focus on strengthening the party rather than engaging in speculation.
The party has also assured the public that its legal team is monitoring developments and is ready to take action if any unlawful attempts are made to interfere with its operations. ODM officials reiterated that all official information will be communicated directly through the party’s verified channels.
As ODM navigates these internal and external challenges, party leaders remain confident that their organizational structure and presence in Kenyan politics remain strong.
