President Ruto Forms Alliance with Gideon Moi's KANU Party, Sparking Political Reactions - October 2025
President William Ruto has enlisted key political rivals, including former Senator Gideon Moi, for a plan to transform Kenya, confirming on Friday, October 9, that KANU has agreed to join the Kenya Kwanza Alliance. In response, Oburu Odinga, brother to Raila Odinga, announced that the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) supports KANU's inclusion into the governing coalition. The move has drawn criticism from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, prompting President Ruto to affirm his commitment to uniting leaders nationwide. Following this, former Senior Advisor Moses Kuria offered a conditional truce to Democracy for the Citizens' Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua to end their political rivalry. President Ruto also engaged former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and former President Uhuru Kenyatta for his ambitious '2055 First World Plan'.
