President William Ruto hosted Members of Parliament who were booted from the ODM Party last week for alleged rebellion and treason on Wednesday.

Elisha Odhiambo (Gem), Gideon Ochanda (Bondo), Felix Odiwuor 'Jalang'o' (Lang'ata), Caroli Omondi (Suba South), and Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda were among the MPs who met with President Ruto at State House in Nairobi.

Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo was also present at the meeting, the agenda of which needed to be clarified.

Photos from the session showed the leaders sitting in a circle, laughing with President Ruto.


The gathering comes just a day after the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal (PPDT) imposed interim orders prohibiting the ODM Party from expelling or de-whipping Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda, Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo, and Langáta MP Phelix Odiwuor awaiting the outcome of their petition.

The registrar of political parties was also instructed not to delist the three as ODM members.


The orders were issued after the three legislators filed a petition challenging the ODM party's disciplinary action against them.
