While at it, how did they ever decide on wiper for a party name? I think the change is welcome(long overdue mine wear out and I change every 2- 3 yrs)

What a name change.d'oh!


ODM --> ODM-Kenya --> Wiper --> OKM?

Kalonzo was never in ODM!


You are forgetting the Orange movement won the referendum in 2005 and kalonzo was in this camp.
When it was transformed into Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Kalonzo was in it.
Later wakakosana na Raila. Melon disembarked and formed ODM-Kenya...

WRONG.
I do not understand why people keep getting this part of history wrong.

The correct position is;

While the Orange brigade that had won the referendum was still doing victory laps, one Mugambi Imanyara moved swiftly and registered a political party under the name Orange Democratic Movement ODM. This guy, then a nondescript lawyer was 'supposedly' acting to upstage the real 'owners' at the behest of Kiraitu Murungi.

Then Raila, Uhuru, Kalonzo, Balala, Mutula etc tried to register their own ODM but faced issues on account of similarities of names.
Then mass action episodes began - demanding registration. They were eventually registered under the name ODM-K with the entire group as above on board.

After about a year or so Uhuru bolted. Much later after about two year stint, Raila defected, managed to buy Mugambi Imanyara off and took over the party they had spent lots of time demonising as Kiraitu Murungi's brain child.

This is one thing that people keep throwing stones at Kalonzo for no reason! There was an orange movement in 2005 yes but ODM hadn't been formed.

ODM was formed by lawyer Mugambi Imanyara during the height of the orange movement's success. He wasn't a member of the orange referendum just a risk taker who thought he could make a quick buck by booking the name.

So after the victory at the plebiscite, RAO & Co go to register ODM and find the name already taken. By a Mt. Kenya guy! They blame govt. They move on and register ODM-Kenya(It was funny that RAO was okay with -Kenya for ODM while he was taunting the NAK wing when they opted to register NARC-Kenya. He said "sasa utasikia wameunda NARC-SomaliaLaughing out loudly )

For most of that period, Kalonzo was the preferred presidential candidate. But RAO's people start asking "How come we are always supporting others(Kibaki, now Kalonzo). Sis pia onawes kuwa rais"

Orange splits. Kalonzo is heckled in Mombasa. But Kalonzo eventually wins because the party papers are in the custody of his protege. A lawyer by the name Daniel Maanzo.

That's how the disgruntled RAO ends up looking for lawyer Imanyara. They get the party from him(or bought itsmile ) and they all defect to ODM from ODM-K.

And it was indeed a Kiraitu's idea executed by Imanyara and Muite

@kaka, how? I thought Mugambi ended up posing for photos with RAO after the deal had been sealed?

Mugambi was just an agent.

He ended up as an official of ODM under Odinga

Quite odd for someone supposed to be Kiraitu's spanner boy

Kalonzo is one hopeless politician.
All he does is wait.... to react. He can not act proactively.
Even the eventual reaction is tiring-ly dragged and underwhelming.

Look what he is doing now; - somehow Muthama is his main point-mand'oh! d'oh! d'oh!
Muthama...., the same guy who abandoned him at high noon in favour of Raila, tried to vie on ODM ticket only for ODM to shy away lest they rub the entire Ukambani electorate the wrong way.
Muthama who we all saw during the retreat at Maanzoni, demanding that Raila take the oath at a time when Raila himself was reluctant to.

Muthama who hobnobbed with the core ODM clique that kept pulling the rug from under Kalonzo's feet upto the day the Oathing!

That is the guy now leading Kalonzo's troops!!

Kalonzo doesnt get it, he should simply retire!

OKOA Kenya from what???

The name is self defeatist and cannot win anything.

It is as if Kenya is colonized?
That name sounds sick and is another stupid thinking
