ODM: Party will remain in Ruto's broad-based government until 2027
Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party leader and Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga (second right) and Secretary-General Edwin Watenya Sifuna address members of the press in Nairobi on October 27, 2025.
The move by the 20-year-old party comes in the wake of intense political jostling to succeed Raila Odinga.
Key political figures – within and outside ODM – have launched behind-the-scenes machinations to inherit his support bases of Nyanza, Western and Coast.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) on Monday sought to forestall a looming succession fallout by calling on party officials and members to rally behind its newly-installed party leader, Dr Oburu Oginga.
“We reiterate the commitment of the Party to the broad-based government until 2027, a relationship guided by the 10-point agenda entered into for the sake of peace and stability of the Country,” the party said in a statement read by Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna.
