ODM Party Strategizes for By-Elections and 2027 Presidential Race - October 2025

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is implementing comprehensive strategies to secure victories in upcoming by-elections across Kenya. These mini-elections are particularly significant as they coincide with the party's 20th anniversary celebrations. Insiders acknowledge that losses could mar the milestone and signal a decline in the party's traditional strongholds. In a separate development, remarks from Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi indicate that the ODM party will not field a presidential candidate in the 2027 General Election. This statement, however, is reported to contrast with claims made by other members of the ODM party.
