Something is up...Mudavadi is in the front page almost every day in the standard and a small meeting with opinion leaders in western was live on KTN.Who is funding this publicity in the standard group to prop Mudavadi...Is Moi behind this latest ODM split.

Money has definitely been 'poured' to make Mudavadi behave the way he is behaving....There is a systematic plan that is underway and unseen forces are behind it...I can Feel it.

what about the star it been running this story as headline for at least 3 weeks .ODM supporters have started a campaign to potray MM as a moi project

Is Mudavadi going to conduct nominations where he is going so that it is democratic?

Didn't ODM start the process of changing their constitution to accommodate Mudavadi's views? including accepting to vote at the county level...

Mudavadi was a mere guest in ODM - nyumba ya wenyewe.

On behalf of Raila, the inner circle of kina Midiwo, Nyong'o and Orengo would decide which direction to steer matters in ODM without much reference to Mudavadi.

Aside from there being no chance of fair nomination, when Mudavadi showed some ambition, the contemptuous calls/utterances (insults) started flowing his way.

Surely he had to leave!

About SGL - the media house specialises in ODM news.
At the moment Mudavadi is still in the party albeit nominally.

ODM's party constitution stipulates that the party leader will be the automatic presidential candidate, MM wanted that changed to give other members a chance to vote for their preferred candidate....he also wanted each county to vote separately instead of gathering delegates in Nairobi to make the decision.

ODM has already filed its constitution with the Registrar of Political Parties, ati the changes will come in later on....clearly the idea was to lock MM in ndio ashindwe kuhama in case he's dissatisfied with anything.

as @YW has mentioned....

Anyway, me thinks the deadline of 30th April 2012 was fast approaching, why not beat the deadline first and then change the ODM constitution....especially that the party has explicitly mentioned it to the Registrar of parties that it will change it's constitution in line with Mudavadi's demands....and also accepting that they will nominate the presidential candidate according to how Mudavadi wants it...did he run away because he sensed defeat whatever method was going to be used by ODM???

Is ODM the only party being judged using the highest standards? has any other registered party shown any interest in nominating their presidential candidate democratically as they expect ODM to do? especially at the county level?

I still think ODM should change their constitution whether Mudavadi leaves or not....it is a party that should remain strong for years to come...hopefully! and choose it's presidential candidates using that method unlike others who are being fronted by their communities, "mtu akitaka kura za Central Kenya aongee na Uhuru"

@ YW and Nostopping.......Stop talking about other parties, the issue here is MM and ODM. I'm sure when time comes we will also discuss the rest! IMHO watu kama Midiwo and Nyongo are liabilities to ODM, they should have been kicked out instead of MM, Najib, WR and the rest.

@ Selah, I totally agree with you ODM should have dealt with MM's issues immediately after NEC passed the resolution to ammend the constitution. On MM's detour, i believe this time it won't be as costly as 2002. So many people think that its RAO who sealed MM's fate after he ditched LDP but i think the main reason was the late Wamalwa's influence in Western and his role in NARC. I don't think there's anyone else who has that kind of support within ODM.

i have a few questions 1. when did MM realize he wanted to run 2. when was the constitution made 3. How is the party leader chosen (cant they vote a party leader who then automatically becomes a candidate?)


MM is definitely a MOI project, Mark Too (Mr Fix it) has been assigned to baby sit him, If tehy manage to get WR to support him, RAO's goose is cooked


ION I will vote for Martha or Kiyapi, havent decided yet

lol.

Ah, there you have made sense. I too think midiwo has little to add but a lot to substract.....

I am sure when the time comes, we will discuss the other parties.

But how could odm have dealt with MMs issues? Can you explain to me step by step what they could have done?

The Moi/Mr Fix it angle could be true
