The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has accused former President Uhuru Kenyatta of making irregular changes to the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition leadership. ODM maintains that Mr. Kenyatta lacks the authority to appoint or dismiss coalition officials without a properly constituted council meeting involving major coalition partners.

• ODM’s Executive Director Oduor Ong’wen stated that Mr. Kenyatta's actions violate the coalition’s agreement, particularly Article 6(A)(1) regarding council appointments.
• The contentious changes saw Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka replace the late former Prime Minister, Suba South MP Caroli Omondi named Secretary General, and Philip Kisia replace Raphael Tuju as Executive Director.
• ODM has requested the Registrar of Political Parties to suspend these changes, pending strict compliance with the coalition agreement.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) faces a potential dilemma due to its existing legal affiliation with former President Uhuru Kenyatta's Azimio One Kenya Coalition as it reportedly seeks to form a new alliance with President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

• Legal experts suggest ODM may struggle to join a new coalition without properly exiting its current agreement.
• ODM's current affiliation with Azimio One Kenya Coalition is still legally binding.
• A vocal faction within ODM continues to support the existing agreement with Azimio.

The Orange Democratic Movement's (ODM) attempts to form a new alliance with President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) are complicated by its existing, legally binding affiliation with former President Uhuru Kenyatta's Azimio One Kenya Coalition.

• Legal experts state ODM could face difficulties joining a new coalition without properly exiting its current agreement.
• The existing Azimio pact is still supported by a vocal faction within ODM.
• This situation presents a serious dilemma for the ODM party.
