The end is near: Jalang’o fired from ODM position

Jalang’o, an ODM MP, has been fired from the party’s communications team. He claims that he was unfairly dismissed and that he does not know why he was removed. He also denies feeling like a traitor, as he has not betrayed anyone.

Jalang’o is one of nine ODM MPs who have rebelled against the party and have been openly working with President William Ruto. The other MPs are Gideon Ochanda, Caroli Omondi, Elisha Odhiambo, Mark Nyamita, Paul Abuor, and Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda.

In a recent meeting with Ruto, the group reaffirmed their allegiance to the Kenya Kwanza government and pledged to continue working with him. Jalang’o also reaffirmed his support for Ruto on Twitter, saying that they meant it when they pledged to support him.

On July 5, the ODM Management Committee resolved to trigger the formal process that would lead to the expulsion of the rebel MPs from the party. The meeting also decided that the process would begin from the grassroots, as required by the ODM party Constitution.
