Homabay, Kenya: Efforts by the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party's Homa Bay branch to fill positions left vacant, by the demise of Senator Otieno Kajwang' who was the branch chairman and vice chairperson Monica Amolo who also died last month, alongside other positions, are proving more divisive than unifying.

It turns out that after the election-related activities of the past weekend the branch is more divided.
