It informs our vision of a new and better Kenyan society – a society for which democracy must refer to the exercise of public authority by the majority in the light of the interest and opinion of the same.

Message From Party Leader
Our land is littered with epitaphs and unmarked graves of opposition parties that arrived with pomp and died without notice. Here, only the fittest survive.
Today, the fittest of them all, ODM, is here to thank all of you who have kept the faith, who have been there in good and bad times, who have shed tears at our lowest moments and also celebrated our moments of triumph.
