The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has refuted claims that they have replaced party officials in Kakamega County.
The ODM party in a statement released on Monday, April 10, said they have heard reports claiming that there have been changes in the Kakamega County party leadership.
They dismissed the reports, terming them as misleading.
In addition, ODM stated that no election or replacement of officials will be conducted without the direct approval of the National Elections Board (NEB) as guided by law.

Moreover, they said changes in ODM party leadership are subject to party elections which are scheduled for later this year.
The party further directed that anyone willing to resign before then should follow due process.
“Should any party official wish to resign or relinquish their position, they are advised to follow the laid down procedure by formally writing to the NEB who will then, pursuant to the Party’s Election and Nomination Rules advise on how the position(s) should be filled,” read part of the statement.
Nonetheless, they advised those interested in the ODM party positions to start acquainting themselves with rules that govern the grassroots elections awaiting the announcement of the election date.
