Some commenters questioned who McOure truly represents within ODM, saying the youth had no official stand yet.
Others accused him of chasing relevance at a time when the opposition is struggling to find unity after the death of former ODM boss Raila Odinga, who was buried with full honors in Siaya.
The discussion reflects the growing cracks inside the opposition camp as talks of a possible 2027 alliance between the DCP team and Gachagua continue to spark emotions.
The younger wing of ODM appears divided, with some preferring to align with Deputy President Kithure Kindiki’s reformist bloc.
while others still root for a broader coalition that includes leaders like Eugene Wamalwa and Kalonzo Musyoka.
Political analysts say such online outbursts show how restless ODM youth have become since the party lost its central figure.
Many feel sidelined by senior leaders now negotiating coalition deals in Nairobi without grassroots consultation.
As the 2027 race draws closer, Kasmuel’s remarks might just be the latest sign that ODM’s next battle will not only be against Ruto’s government .
But also within its own youthful base, which is quickly becoming unpredictable and vocal online.
