Political Leaders Discuss Potential ODM-UDA Alliance and Power-Sharing - February 2026
Leaders from Western Kenya have indicated that a political alliance between the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is being formed, suggesting significant political shifts. In ongoing bipartisan talks, leaders in Kakamega County rejected a proposal by Homabay Governor Gladys Wanga for a 50-50 power-sharing formula between President William Ruto and the ODM party. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki advocated for an expansion of political leadership, calling for the inclusion of ODM and other parties to strengthen national unity. However, Oburu Oginga, a leader in the ODM Party, stated that the party is not interested in the deputy president position in the ongoing talks. This comes as discussions about the country's political future continue.
