Matiang’i Issues Warning to ODM Party

Jubilee Party presidential candidate Fred Matiang’i has warned the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) against dragging Jubilee into its internal disagreements.

Speaking on Tuesday, Matiang’i said Jubilee respects the independence of other political parties and has no role in ODM’s internal issues. He also urged leaders to focus on national development instead of fueling unnecessary conflicts.

He stressed that Jubilee supports multiparty democracy and healthy political competition, which he called key to a vibrant and thriving democracy.

Matiang’i added that any discussions happening within other parties, whether local or international, are their own business. Jubilee will focus on contributing positively to national issues instead of controversies.

OFICIAL STATEMENT ON ALLEGATIONS OF ATTEMPTS TO DIVIDE (ODM)

@TheODMparty

As the Jubilee Party, we stand committed to peace and unity in our nation’s political landscape. We extend our sincere well-wishes to all fellow political actors as we advance together toward a stronger Kenya.

Let it be known to the general public that we are neither involved in nor inclined toward any form of conflict. Our unwavering belief in multiparty democracy embraces healthy competition, for it is through the flourishing of all parties that Kenya will realize the vibrant democracy to which we all aspire.

Any discussions; be they internal, external, or international, within other parties remain solely their prerogative. We respect their autonomy and wish them success in their endeavours. I therefore wish to clarify that neither our party nor its leadership plays any role in those matters.

Our esteemed party leader, as a retired Head of State, retains the full right to engage thoughtfully in national discourse, contributing his wisdom to public affairs for the benefit of all Kenyans. We respectfully urge our colleagues in national leadership to prioritize their solemn duties.

With much to accomplish in service to our country, let us channel our energies into constructive governance rather than unfounded controversies or personal animosities. We recognize that true leadership inspires rather than intimidates. Let us rise above division and unite in building a prosperous, democratic Kenya for generations to come.

The Jubilee leader’s remarks come amid speculation linking the party to tensions within ODM, which he firmly denied.
