An ODM meeting held in Kisumu on Sunday has shown divisions within the group led by Senator Oburu Oginga.
Several senior party leaders did not attend the meeting. They include Deputy Chairman Otiende Amollo, Millie Odhiambo, Ruth Odinga and Junet Mohamed.
Supporters filled Kirembe grounds where the Luo community announced support for President Ruto for a second term. Dr Otiende Amollo said he missed the meeting due to other engagements in Nairobi.
Governor Anyang Nyong'o attended and said the future of ODM will not be decided by Luo Nyanza areas alone. Party sources say Junet Mohamed has fallen out with the party leadership.
