In the past few days, Kenya has witnessed ODM members exit the party to join other political parties.

It began with the resignation of Ababu Namwamba as the party's secretary-general who claimed the party leadership was poor and he was not given time to serve as the leader of the party. 

Migori senator, Machage also threatened to leave the party among other members of the party. 

Raila being a leader has been accused of giving members of the party free tickets during times of elections hence the defections of members for fearing to lose the ticket in 2017. 

Now that the ODM party has a new national elections board, is the party going to conduct its nominations free and fair ahead of the 2017 general elections?

Party supporters should now expect the new elections board to act accordingly to ensure that the nominations of ODM party members are successful, unlike the past nominations.
