The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has come out to refute claims of a rift within the party after recent reports of a physical altercation among senior party members.
Acting ODM Party Leader Anyang' Nyong'o released a statement on January 14 detailing several particulars of the crucial meeting in Nairobi as he refuted claims that ideological differences threatened to hurt the party.
According to Nyong'o, the meeting on Friday, January 10, was conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect and unity of purpose. "I have, however, been shocked and dismayed by stories circulating in sections of the media, insinuating that there were disagreements, even going as far as alleging fistfights during the meeting.
Let me categorically state that nothing could be further from the truth.
