ODM and UDA Reportedly Pursue 50-50 Pre-Election Deal for 2027 - February 2026

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, political realignments are underway, with the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) reportedly pushing for a 50-50 pre-election deal with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). The same political realignment is discussed across two parts of the story. Separately, a three-judge bench has scheduled March 19 for a ruling on a constitutional case seeking the removal of Deputy President Kithure Kindiki from office, adding another dimension to the evolving political landscape as parties position themselves ahead of the next election cycle.
