“We will be proposing that we structure the party so that we have a party leader and four deputies. For now, we have resolved that Kawira Mwangaza has decided to be one of the party leaders,” he said.

Mwangaza and Patrick Makau were named as deputy party leaders, while former Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo was proposed for another deputy slot.

A fourth position has been reserved for a representative from the Coast region.

Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka was named national treasurer, deputised by Abigael Gikonyo. Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya was named director of campaigns.

Other proposed officials include Kari Karani as Organising Secretary and Francy Kadide as Secretary for Legal Affairs.

Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale was proposed as Secretary for Political Affairs, and is also expected to seek the Kakamega governorship on the party’s ticket.

On the wings and special interest positions, Caroline Mayuzu was nominated to head the women’s league and Fridah Onduso the youth league.

Torome Nalengoyo, the immediate former Narok ODM chairperson, was proposed as the representative for minority affairs.
