According to Njoroge, ODM remains a key pillar in Kenyan politics and its role in shaping democratic debate should not be overlooked or dismissed.
She explained that those raising questions about the party’s recent direction do not want ODM to collapse. Instead, they hope the leadership will remain true to its founding principles.
Njoroge argues that ODM has historically championed accountability and social justice, and therefore, it should not align itself with a government that appears to take a different path from the values the party has defended over the years.
Her comments come as debates intensify over whether ODM should openly support President William Ruto ahead of the next general election.
Internal disagreements have already sparked tension among senior figures, particularly over the position of the secretary general and influential youthful politicians within the movement.
Njoroge insisted that disputes within a political party are healthy so long as they are grounded in ideology and not personal gain.
She urged ODM members to remain firm and resist any attempts to silence voices calling for a principled stand.
She said that unity should not be used as an excuse to compromise core beliefs.
As the conversations continue, Njoroge’s remarks reflect the sentiment of a growing section of supporters who want ODM to guard its identity while preparing for future political battles.
