The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is facing fresh political turbulence after its National Treasurer, Timothy Bosire, officially resigned from the party and announced the formation of a new political outfit ahead of the highly anticipated 2027 General Elections.
According to reports circulating on social media, Bosire made the bold move amid growing internal tensions within the Orange party, triggering heated reactions among Kenyans online. His resignation comes barely a day after the Homa Bay Deputy Governor stepped down, further fueling speculation about deepening cracks within ODM’s top leadership.
Bosire, who has been serving as ODM’s Treasurer, is considered a key figure in the party’s financial and strategic planning.
His sudden exit is seen by politica analysts as a significant blow to the party as it begins early preparations for the 2027 presidential race and parliamentary contests.
Political Realignments Ahead of 2027
With the 2027 elections fast approaching, political alignments and re-alignments are already taking shape across the country.
Bosire’s decision to form a new party signals potential shifts in regional political dynamics, especially in Nyanza, a region traditionally perceived as ODM’s stronghold
The development has sparked mixed reactions on Facebook and other social media platforms. While some Kenyans argue that leaders have a democratic right to chart their own political paths, others have urged ODM’s top leadership, including party heavyweights like Oburu Odinga, to urgently address internal disputes before the situation escalates further.
Kenyans React Online
A section of netizens expressed concerns that frequent resignations could weaken ODM’s influence ahead of the next general election. Others, however, believe the move could open space for fresh political competition and accountability within opposition politics.
As political temperatures continue to rise, all eyes remain on how ODM will respond to the growing unrest within its ranks and whether more leaders could follow suit in the coming months.
