[Screengrab]Siaya Governor James Orengo has dismissed claims that he is planning to leave the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) through the dissident Linda Mwananchi faction, saying the group remains firmly within the Party. Speaking on KTN News on Monday night, Orengo described Linda Mwananchi as a caucus within ODM, similar to the Linda Ground group associated with Party leader Oburu Oginga, but with different principles. He, however, hinted at major developments within ODM in the next five months. Last week, the Linda Mwananchi group petitioned the Registrar of Political Parties to block the registration of a party under the same name.
