The Orange party, for starters, was an accidental outfit. However, instead of building a party around an ideology or philosophy, as usual with our selfish politicians, ODM followed the beaten path of organising the party around a personality. ODM has, for all intent and purpose been a one-man show, where Raila's word is law. New players are getting bolder by the day and the seismic wave underneath is threatening to tear apart the well-knit fabric that was the former ODM party. ODM stayed longer , thanks to its leader's charisma and unbowed support.
