President Ruto, Oburu Oginga lead UDA-ODM consultative meeting at State House - April 2026

A significant joint consultative meeting took place at State House in Nairobi, with President William Ruto and Senator Oburu Oginga at the helm, potentially signaling the formation of a formal coalition between their respective parties. Deputy President Profesa Kithure Kindiki has strongly criticized opposition leaders, accusing them of inciting youth to engage in violence during protests. Meanwhile, Kenya's opposition is threatening nationwide protests after the government reportedly ignored a one-week ultimatum aimed at addressing soaring fuel prices. The PRM party has separately criticized the government, demanding a reduction in fuel taxes to alleviate the rising cost of living.
