Following the death of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is engulfed in a leadership crisis with two factions emerging. A public leadership dispute has erupted between Party Leader Oburu Oginga and Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna. Simultaneously, a potential pre-election alliance with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is faltering, with claims that a 10-point Memorandum of Understanding has not been honored. This has caused panic within ODM as an anticipated zoning agreement with President William Ruto's UDA party for the 2027 General Election falls apart. Additionally, the ODM has accused former President Uhuru Kenyatta of making irregular changes to the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition leadership without holding a properly constituted council meeting.
