As wrangles and internal differences within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party continue to intensify, members of the clergy from the Luo community have called on the party leadership to take urgent steps to foster peace and unity.
Speaking in Homa Bay Town, SUPKEM Homa Bay County Secretary Nuhu Abdul Masoud urged the Odinga family to remain united and put their house in order for the sake of party stability.
Masoud also called on ODM members to give their leaders ample time and space to work for them without unnecessary divisions.
On his part, Bishop Jefas Okello, a member of the Interfaith Community, emphasized the need for mutual respect across age groups within the party.
He said the concerns of the youth should be heard and respected, while at the same time urging young members to respect elders in line with cultural values.
The clergy leaders warned that continued infighting could weaken the party and called for dialogue and understanding to safeguard ODM’s unity.
