Korogocho Member of the County Assembly (MCA) Absalom Odhiambo alias Matach has cautioned youth against engaging in violence or disruption during the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) National Delegates Convention (NDC) scheduled for Friday, March 27, 2026, in Nairobi. The warning comes amid reports that a section of university students have allegedly threatened to disrupt the high-stakes political meeting.
“We are aware of plans by some individuals to mobilize youths to cause chaos during the ODM convention. I want to urge our young people not to be used as tools for violence. This is a democratic process that must be respected,” the MCA said.
The ODM National Delegates Convention is expected to bring together delegates and top party organs from across the country to deliberate on key leadership and strategic issues. Party officials have indicated that the convention will address governance matters, ratify key resolutions, and outline ODM’s political direction in the coming months. ¹ ² ³
Security agencies are expected to be on high alert during the event to ensure order is maintained and delegates can carry out their deliberations without interference.
The Korogocho MCA emphasized the importance of peaceful political engagement, noting that Nairobi residents, especially youths, should prioritize constructive participation over unrest. “Let us protect our city and uphold peace. Political differences should be expressed through dialogue, not disorder,” he added.
