Migori Senator Eddy Oketch has renewed calls for ODM leader Oburu Odinga to intervene in the escalating feud between Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Suna East MP Junet Mohamed, setting a seven-day deadline for resolution. His remarks come amidst Sifuna's expressed willingness to reconcile for the party's stability.

• Oketch withdrew a motion to expel ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna after a phone call with Oburu Odinga, emphasizing party unity.
• Oketch criticized Sifuna for allegedly making false accusations against Junet Mohamed, warning that internal conflicts could "break this party."
• Sifuna, on Wednesday, January 7, pledged dialogue, stating, "There is no one in ODM I will not sit down with," following an appeal from Ida Odinga.

Ida Odinga, widow of ODM founder Raila Odinga, has urged feuding ODM factions to engage in dialogue to prevent a party split amidst internal disagreements.

• Ida Odinga highlighted her late husband's legacy of dialogue and his commitment to the party's role in serving Kenya.
• The internal conflict stems from debates over whether ODM should support President William Ruto's re-election in 2027.
• An attempt to remove Secretary General Edwin Sifuna was paused, as Sifuna's stance on fielding a presidential candidate and his criticism of the Ruto administration are key points of contention.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has accused the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) of orchestrating a “hostile takeover” of its grassroots structures in Western Kenya, specifically in Vihiga and Kakamega counties.

• ODM claims UDA is attempting to lure its legislators and county officials into UDA campaign meetings under false pretenses of political cooperation.
• ODM Deputy Party Leader Godfrey Osotsi stated that these actions are predatory, especially following the demise of former Party Leader Raila Amollo Odinga.
• ODM denies any formal agreement with UDA beyond a 10-point reform package, which it says is not a political pact.
• The party is calling on its members to resist UDA activities and remain loyal, as many officials have already reaffirmed their allegiance to ODM.
