Cerelac Boys Alert: Matach Warns Gen Z Against Disrupting ODM NDC

On March 26, 2026, Absalom Odhiambo, Korogocho Ward MCA, issued a stern warning to youth activists.

Odhiambo, popularly known as Matach, addressed students planning to disrupt the upcoming ODM National Delegates Conference. He specifically referred to them as “Cerelac boys,” implying immaturity and inexperience in political matters.

The MCA warned that “goons” would be on-site to handle anyone interfering with the party meeting. He stressed that any attempt to disrupt the NDC would face strict grassroots enforcement.

Political Context

This warning comes amid escalating tensions within ODM leadership factions. Youth groups have threatened protests if specific leadership roles are not allocated to figures like Winnie Odinga.
Odhiambo aligns himself firmly with the official ODM leadership, defending their organizational decisions.

MCA’s Grassroots Standing

Odhiambo recently earned recognition as a top-performing ward representative in the Kenya Track Survey. He uses this standing to strengthen his influence among local party supporters.
Observers note that his popularity reinforces the warning as a credible deterrent.

Implications for the ODM NDC

The warning highlights growing friction between party leadership and Gen Z activists. Political analysts suggest the youth could challenge traditional party control in upcoming elections.
Meanwhile, the official ODM wing seeks to ensure orderly conduct during the national conference.

Matach’s video sends a clear signal to youth protesters: disruption will meet firm resistance. The ODM NDC aims to proceed without interruptions, reflecting the leadership’s authority.
As the conference approaches, tensions between grassroots enforcers and young activists remain high.
