Tom Ojienda Expulsion from ODM.
On September 6th, 2023, Tom Ojienda, among the other five party members, was expelled for supporting the opposition party UDA. The disciplinary committee fined the rest, but for the senator, things on his side were different. This was after he reported that he would not participate in any Azimios protest rallies, which he claimed would derail the realization of development projects in the country and his area.
Pro. Ojienda said he would continue working with the Kenya Kwanza Administration even if his fellow members from Azimio don’t recognize President William Ruto’s government. He said he had no apologies for the steps he had taken, facing allegations of violation of article 11(1) (e) of the party constitution and section 14 A of the Political Parties Act 2011, openly associating with activities of a rival political party went against the lawful decision made by the party organs.
On September 7th, 2023, the senator said that he had not received any communication from the party about his expulsion for collaborating with the ruling coalition. He is seeking the ODM NEC’s decision to expel him from the party. Tom Ojienda also sought the disciplinary committee’s recommendation for expulsion from the party.
