As Orange Democratic Movement party is planning to conduct its grassroot elections slated for November 27, 2024, Suna East MP aspirant has demanded that ODM’s Director of Elections, Hon. Junet Mohamed should resign.
The MP hopeful, Eng. Victor Okuna wants Junet Mohamed who also doubles as Suna East Constituency MP out of the way, citing need for fresh blood in the ODM elections’ system.
He added that a new strategy with fresh ideas and new inputs is required in the system, claiming that Junet Mohamed has stayed for long as ODM Director of Elections.
“We demand for resignation of Hon Junet Mohamed as ODM director of Elections. Fresh ideas, new input and re-strategy requires fresh blood,” said Eng. Victor Okuna.
Junet Mohamed was appointed the Director of Elections in the ODM party in 2014 and is still holding the office. He also serves as the Minority Whip in the National Assembly as well as Secretary General in the embattled Azimio Coalition party.
Eng. Okuna is eyeing the Suna East Constituency seat and has ever been slamming the incumbent MP Junet Mohamed, rubbishing his development, which he claims is lagging behind.
Two days ago, after an ODM meeting in Homabay, Eng. Okuna affirmed that he is gaining ground in uprooting Junet in the Suna East seat. He alleged that he is supported by Homabay Governor, Hon. Gladys Wanga and her Kisumu counterpart Hon. Anyang Nyong’o.

“I am finishing that guy on the ground and Governor Gladys Wanga, Anyang’ Nyong’o are doing the same at the top. Let him retire honourably, ” he revealed.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) on November 4, 2024, announced of its intentions to conduct its grassroot elections on November 27.
According to the party’s National Elections Coordinating Committee (NECC) in a notice to its members, the elections will take place at polling units in all 47 counties.
“Pursuant to this resolution, the NECC wishes to announce that the grassroots elections will be conducted on 27 November 2024 in all polling Units/Centres across the Forty-Seven (47) Counties,” read the notice by NECC chairperson Emily Awita in part.
The party had in April postponed its grassroot elections due to flood in some parts of the country.
