The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has dismissed an alleged change of guard at its Kasipul sub-branch.

Homa Bay County ODM Chairperson Gladys Wanga and Kasipul branch chairman Evance Ndege termed the purported changes as fake and the work of party rebels.

“As the ODM chairperson the county, the party has not conducted any election in Kasipul constituency. I don’t know the people who conducted the purported election and we tell our supporters to remain calm and ignore them," said Wanga.

Ms Wanga and Mr Ndege were reacting to media reports indicating that some individuals had staged a coup in the branch and elected new officials.
