Political Parties and Leaders Strategize for Upcoming Elections - September 2025

Kenya's political landscape is seeing shifts ahead of future elections. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has announced its party primaries for upcoming by-elections will take place between September 24 and September 27, 2025. The party aims to select candidates for by-elections scheduled for November 27. More broadly, the country's opposition is navigating internal challenges as it prepares for the 2027 general election. A recent Trends and Insights for Africa (TIFA) survey also sheds light on the political climate, revealing that nearly one in five Kenyans blame President William Ruto for recent human rights abuses.
