Pressure has mounted on Nairobi ODM Women’s Chairlady Catherine Akoth to resign immediately, with members accusing her of holding the seat for two decades without delivering meaningful results.
Women leaders from across the county say Akoth’s era has been marked by stagnation, lost opportunities, and failure to empower women at the grassroots level. Frustration has now boiled over, with calls growing louder for her to vacate office and pave the way for fresh leadership.
The women are rallying behind Rosemary Okuta, who they believe represents the change the party urgently needs. They describe her as a unifying force who can drive development, restore accountability, and breathe new life into the ODM women’s league in Nairobi.
“Twenty years of doing nothing is enough,” the women declared, demanding immediate transition. They say Okuta understands the struggles of women in the city and has the vision to turn the league into a strong platform for empowerment and progress.
The push for Akoth’s ouster marks a turning point for ODM women politics in Nairobi. With pressure mounting from all corners, the stage is set for a leadership shake-up that could redefine the party’s direction in the capital.
