In a statement sent to newsrooms the committee said that the positions to be contested in the mainstream category include Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secretary, Organising Secretary and their deputies, the treasurer and three committee members.
“As all ODM party members are aware the National Elections Coordinating Committee was scheduled to hold grassroots elections in April but due to the flooding that was experienced in most parts of the country at the time, the exercise was postponed indefinitely,” read the statement.
The Committee stated that the positions to be contested in the Women and Youth League categories include the Chairperson, Secretary, Organising Secretary and their deputies, Treasurer and three committee members.
