As questions continue to arise over the Orange Democratic Movement party position in President William Ruto's administration, a section of leaders have declared that they will not support the regime in the 2027 election.
In what is seen as a change of tune, several ODM leaders who have been Ruto's vocal defenders, are now backing the Orange party to emerge victorious in the next General Election.
The most recent is Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga, who hinted at ODM having a presidential candidate in the 2027 elections, saying no party is always formed to be in the opposition.
Oburu, who was speaking during a talk show on a vernacular TV station, said they have embarked on efforts to strengthen the ODM party in readiness for the 2027 elections. "We are open to joining forces with like-minded individuals and political parties to form a coalition in order to form the next government," said Oburu. The senator, who is also the Bondo branch chairman, downplayed claims that ODM was in government, saying they only agreed to lend some of their members to help stabilize the government.
