According to the defectors, they were not involved nor chosen during the recent Jubilee delegates conference in Nairobi. In a charged public function held at Olorukoti village, Kitengela and attended by hundreds, the defectors vowed to ensure they rally support for ODM. Orange party election chairperson, who is also an East Africa legislator, Judith Pareno, said the move was a big boost to the party, adding that they are optimistic the party will regain its popularity in Kajiado. She said the dynamics of Maa politics is majorly focused on individuals and not party affiliations.
