ODM leaders clash over 2027 election strategy

Leaders of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) experienced internal friction during a memorial event for Raila Odinga. The clashes centered on the party’s strategic direction and preparations for the 2027 general elections.

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna noted that the political landscape has shifted since Odinga’s passing, suggesting the former Prime Minister would have been a major contender for the presidency in 2027. Meanwhile, Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka expressed confidence in a decisive victory for a united opposition against President William Ruto, claiming the current administration lacks sufficient support.
