The main reason Mudavadi left ODM was because the party constitution makes the party leader the automatic presidential candidate. As things stand now, the party leader position seems a reserve for Raila Odinga barring anyone else from contesting for the presidency on an ODM ticket....Marende has indicated that he might be going for the top seat in 2017 and just like Musalia Mudavadi, he realized ODM wont give him that chance...
