Kenyan President William Ruto is actively working to defuse escalating political tensions and prevent a split within the broad-based government arrangement between his UDA party and the ODM party. Six months after the passing of its founding figure, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is reportedly facing a rapid decline, with its legacy built by the late Prime Minister Raila Odinga now threatened by internal conflicts. The party is experiencing significant internal confusion and division as it navigates a potential alliance with President Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA), raising questions about its future direction. Several Kenyan politicians who depended on Raila Odinga's influence are facing personal survival challenges in the post-Raila era.
