The planned recruitment exercise is expected to target both existing supporters and new members across the country, as the party seeks to revitalise its grassroots networks.
Party leaders believe that expanding membership will play a key role in strengthening ODM’s presence ahead of future elections.
Olekina’s statement comes at a time when the party is undergoing internal reorganisation aimed at aligning its leadership and strategy with emerging political dynamics.
The recent NDC brought together delegates from across the country and is seen as a turning point in redefining the party’s direction.
According to party insiders, the recruitment drive will focus on engaging the youth, professionals, and grassroots supporters, with an emphasis on inclusivity and participation.
Leaders are keen to ensure that the process is transparent and accessible to all Kenyans who wish to join the party.
The move also signals ODM’s intention to remain a dominant force in national politics, particularly as political formations begin to take shape ahead of the next general election.
By increasing its membership base, the party aims to boost its organisational strength and enhance its ability to mobilise support.
Analysts say that such recruitment efforts are crucial for political parties seeking to maintain relevance and competitiveness.
A strong membership base not only provides a foundation for campaigning but also helps in shaping policy direction through wider public engagement.
At the same time, ODM leaders are expected to roll out programmes aimed at strengthening party structures at the county and ward levels.
These efforts are designed to improve coordination and ensure that the party’s agenda is effectively communicated to supporters.
Olekina reiterated that the party’s focus remains on forming the next government, underscoring the importance of unity and collective effort among members.
He called on supporters to actively participate in the recruitment exercise and contribute to the party’s growth.
