The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has declared internal unity and renewed its commitment to the national agenda, following public criticism by Secretary General Edwin Sifuna over the party's pact with President William Ruto's government.
On Monday, July 29, the party's Central Committee, chaired by Party Leader Raila Odinga, met in Nairobi and endorsed continued cooperation with the Kenya Kwanza administration, framing the alliance as key to national stability and dialogue. "The party supports the position of Party Leader Raila Odinga to work with the Kenya Kwanza administration to stabilise the country and create an enabling environment for Kenyans to address their concerns through democratic and constitutional means," observed Sifuna.
To drive the 10-point agenda outlined in the memorandum of understanding (MoU), the committee announced plans to form a joint technical team with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
The team, which was already provided for in the MoU, has been missing, delaying progress.
