Lenku mulls ODM exit, accuses party of supporting rivals

Kajiado Governor Joseph Ole Lenku has threatened to lead the Maasai community out of the ODM party, if the party's top leaders continue to support members of a different party. Lenku, who questioned the move by some ODM officials to publicly campaign for a UDA candidate for the Kajiado governor's seat in 2027, says the actions amount to betrayal of loyal ODM supporters from the area. Governor Lenku has asked ODM Leader Dr. Oburu Oginga to apologise, and reign in on officials endorsing their rivals; failure to which he will urge the community to ditch the Orange party.
