The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has announced that countywide delegates elections will be held on Monday, August 25, 2025.
According to the National Elections Coordinating Committee (NECC), the exercise will take place at designated polling centers across the country.
The Committee, however, stated that four counties Migori, Nairobi, Homa Bay and Kisumu will not take part in the elections.
“The National Elections Coordinating Committee (NECC) will conduct countrywide County Delegates elections, except for the counties of Migori, Nairobi, Homa Bay and Kisumu,” the Chairperson of the Committee, Emily Awita said.
The committee said eligible delegates of the party branches, as published on the ODM Party website, can apply for any county office positions.
Aspirants will be required to pay application fees through the party’s Paybill number 985900, with the account name being the position sought.
The fees set for aspirants are Sh1,000 for non-executive positions, Sh2,500 for women, youth, disability and special interest representatives, Sh5,000 for executive positions other than chairperson, and Sh10,000 for county chairperson positions.
The Orange Party began its grassroots elections in April, following successful polling unit elections conducted on November 27, 2024.
