Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has said the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party is preparing to capture power in the 2027 General Elections.
Speaking in Rangwe on Wednesday, November 27, the Governor lauded the party for how it conducted its grassroots elections, stating that a party eyeing power must be organized and vibrant.
"That is what, that is what we were looking for. I want to say that with these grassroots elections, ODM is preparing to capture power in 2027 because the purpose of any political party is to capture power. For us to capture power we have to be organized and vibrant at the very grassroots level where we come from," she said.
Wanga mentioned that ODM is the only party able to carry out peaceful grassroots elections, adding that it is also the only party that respects the Constitution.
"ODM is the only party that is able to carry out this kind of election, other parties are not able to do this. The Registrar of Political Parties also said that ODM is the only party that is fully following the Constitution of Kenya," she added.
