Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir is calling for an urgent meeting of his Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party to address ongoing internal disagreements. Nassir, who serves as ODM deputy party leader, said he has petitioned party leader Oburu Oginga to convene a Central Management Committee (CMC) meeting to discuss the current fallout among senior officials. “As Deputy Party Leader, I have requested my party leader, Oburu Oginga, to urgently convene the CMC meeting,” Nassir said. Some top officials support engaging with President Ruto, while others prefer a different path. “It is time we talk to President Ruto and discuss ways to move the country forward,” he said.
