With the reality that political parties in Kenya are only used once every five years purely for nomination, the major political party leaders no longer bother with party elections.

ODM party elections are unnecessary as they add no value to the party leader’s presidential quest and some times end up in chaos.

Except for ODM, other political party leaders have long discovered the high cost of subjecting otherwise peaceful, united and happy people to unnecessary political competition.

In ODM, this chaos is known to be stirred by sycophants masquerading as leaders; people whose only aim is to use their perceived closeness to the party leader to filter out competition.

In the February 2014 ODM elections, “men in black” were deployed to violently halt the exercise to enable future hand-picking. An exercise that was later completed in Naivasha in unity, peace and harmony.
