Orange party has moved in to stem party rebels by unveiling an inclusive party lineup after the botched February party polls.
The party will now have 36 party officials to fill up 27 positions.
In the new lineup Raila Odinga will be the party leader deputised by Mombasa governor Hassan Joho and Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya. In the February Ababu line up Joho wanted the deputy party leader slot.
The current Secretary General Anyang' Nyong'o's fate is unknown after the party replaced him with Budalang'i MP Ababu Namwamba who has of late been seen as a rebel. Ababu has publicly criticised the party for lack of internal democracy.
Raila's close allies like Siaya senator James Orengo have not been given any party positions in the fresh line up.
