ODM to meet Tuesday if Namwamba tenders resignation

ODM to meet Tuesday if Namwamba tenders resignation

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) now says that Budalang’i Ababu Namwamba has not yet tendered his resignation from the post despite his statement at a rally in Busia that he had resigned.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, party chairman John Mbadi said that they are yet to receive his resignation just days before the crucial Central Committee meeting.

In a statement, the party indicated that if it is true that Namwamba has resigned as reported in the media and subsequently hands in the resignation letter, the Central Committee will then meet Tuesday 12th July, 2016 followed by the NEC meeting  on Thursday 14th July, 2016 to discuss the matter and make the necessary decision.

“The appointment of the acting Secretary General of the Party in the event of a vacancy is not a reserve of the Party Leader or any other official of the party. The Central Committee has to meet then make recommendations to the NEC for consideration,” read the statement in part

This comes just a day after Namwamba announced at the Masinde Muliro University, Budalang’i Campus that he was quitting the position.

Namwamba resigned from the post together with a section of grassroots leaders of ODM in Budalang’i.

Namwamba has been at loggerheads with ODM leadership for allegedly failing to give guidance to the party as mandated by the position he holds.
