Siaya Governor James Orengo has publicly criticized Dr. Oburu Oginga's leadership potential for ODM and declared his support for ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna's "Linda Mwananchi" faction.

• Orengo believes Dr. Oburu Oginga, Raila Odinga's elder brother and heir, lacks the necessary experience to lead the party, stating he has "never tasted tear gas."
• He dismisses any pre-election pact with President William Ruto as a "long con-game" and criticizes the pursuit of Deputy President positions as "fool's gold."
• Orengo champions Edwin Sifuna as a potential presidential candidate for Kenya in 2027, deeming him "fit to be the president."

President William Ruto's meeting with Pamoja African Alliance (PAA) leaders and elected MPs has reportedly thrown the party into disarray.

• One Rabai MP, Kenga Mupe, has officially defected from PAA to join the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
• The key organization involved is the Pamoja African Alliance (PAA), led by Senate Speaker Amason Kingi.
• The report suggests the party is in a state of disarray following the State House meeting.

An advocate has filed a lawsuit against the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) in the High Court, challenging the party's nomination of President William Ruto as its 2027 presidential flag bearer. The advocate alleges betrayal by the party, claiming they were promised a Cabinet Secretary position and subsequently locked out of the party's portal.

• The lawsuit also seeks to challenge the nomination of President William Ruto as the UDA's 2027 presidential flag bearer.
• The plaintiff is an advocate who claims they were promised a Cabinet Secretary role after being the former UDA SG.
• The advocate was allegedly denied access to the UDA portal after being promised the CS position.
