Opposition leader Raila Odinga's ODM party unity was thrown into doubt following the resignation of Secretary-General Ababu Namwamba.

Namwamba, who has held the position for slightly over two years since the abortive 2014 party polls, announced Wednesday that he was resigning from the post, one of the powerful in the party hierarchy.
