ODM To Seek Supporters Consent

10 February 2008 Daily Nation (Kenyan Newspaper)

ODM leaders have said they would seek the consent of their supporters countrywide before committing their party to resolutions of the National Dialogue and Reconciliation Committee headed by former UN secretary general Kofi Annan.

Party leaders Raila Odinga were categorical that ODM would not accept a solution to the current political impasse which did not address the controversial outcome of the General Election. "We will not accept a solution that betrays trust bestowed upon us. Part of the solution would be to address past injustices including the stolen elections," Odinga also called for the resignation of the Police Commissioner, Maj-Gen Hussein Ali, over the manner in which he handled the violence and killings that followed the disputed presidential election results.
