The scheduled consultative meeting in 'Ingwe' land might seal ODM's fate in the region.
Mudavadi will chair the meeting and his declaration will open a new chapter in the vote-rich region.
Mudavadi, who is ODM deputy party leader, has continuously expressed his displeasure over the manner in which the party went ahead and presented papers to the Registrar of Political Parties before amending the constitution.
Mudavadi is reported to be holding talks with various party officials.
Wednesday April 11, a major announcement by Justice Minister Eugene Wamalwa aborted at the last minute after he rescinded his earlier plan.
Wamalwa was expected to make known Mudavadi's defection from ODM to another party.
Legislators and local leaders are expected to meet at a local hotel in Kakamega to chart the way forward for the region.
Housing minister and New Ford Kenya party leader Soita Shitanda confirmed that preparations are in top gear for the meeting.
The meeting will bring together legislators, councillors, youth, Luhya Elders Forum and stakeholders from Western Province.
