The dispute began after Chege reportedly suggested that individuals backing Gachagua appeared misguided, comments that quickly sparked reactions online and drew criticism from political leaders allied to the former deputy president.
Her statement triggered a wave of debate across social media platforms, with supporters and opponents weighing in on the growing political rift.
Olekina described the discussions as focused and productive, centered on effective mobilization efforts.
The session laid the foundation for an upcoming major gathering: the first ODM grassroots meeting scheduled for March 6, 2026, at Melelo Center in Narok South, starting at 10:00 a.m.
Organizers expect more than 10,000 party members from across Narok County to attend. The event will feature consultations with party leaders, including an invitation extended to Oburu Oginga, to address ODM's internal matters openly and explore paths toward greater unity.
Olekina highlighted the importance of building a strong, collective voice to enable meaningful strategic dialogue with President William Ruto's administration.
He tagged key figures such as Junet Mohamed, Gladys Wanga, and Hassan Ali Joho in his announcement, signaling coordination with prominent ODM members.
This development comes at a time when ODM has faced speculation about factional tensions and differing views on the party's direction ahead of the 2027 elections.
By organizing at the grassroots level, Olekina appears to prioritize bottom-up reconciliation and loyalty to the party's established structures over any potential shifts in allegiance.
The Narok senator's initiative underscores a commitment to dialogue and mobilization as tools to overcome current hurdles and position ODM for stronger influence in national politics.
