Wednesday, November 6, 2024 - The ODM Party has announced that grassroots elections will take place at the tail end of this month.
The announcement came 6 months after its
postponement in April this year due to the flooding experienced in most
parts of the country.
In a notice, the chairperson in charge of the
National Elections Coordinating Committee (NECC), Emily Awita, revealed that
the elections would be held on November 27 across all 47 counties between 10 am
and 2 pm.
“There will be elections of thirty (30) party
officials, 10 each from the three (3) Committees at each polling unit/centre
namely: the Mainstream; Women League, and Youth League,” part of the notice
read.
The committee also outlined several other guidelines
to be followed during the election exercise including all the positions to be
filled in each of the three categories mentioned above.
For instance, the mainstream category shall
include the election of a chairperson, a vice chairperson, a secretary, an
organising secretary, a treasurer, a women leader, a youth leader, and three
committee members.
As for the women and youth league categories,
the positions to be contested are the chairperson, secretary, organizing
secretary and their deputies, treasurer, and three committee members' seats.
The commission also took into consideration
minorities and people living with disabilities with the fifth guideline
stating, “Persons with disabilities and minorities be mainstreamed in the three
(3) categories.”
They also highlighted the method to be used in
the voting process which is the consensus or voting by a show of hands and will
require county election coordinators to work closely with polling unit/centre
coordinators.
