NAIROBI,Kenya Oct 15 – ODM deputy party leader Simba Arati has urged members threatening to leave the party to reconsider their decision, while maintaining that those aligned to the Linda Mwananchi camp had been bought by political sponsors, amid growing divisions over the party’s cooperation with President William Ruto’s administration.
Speaking during the first anniversary memorial of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Bondo, Siaya County, Arati warned party members against abandoning ODM, insisting that they should remain in the party and help rebuild it rather than pursue interests he suggested were being driven by external financiers.
“Baba left us in the ODM house. I ask you, as your deputy party leader, together with your party leader, to remain in Baba’s house,” Arati said.
