A dissenting faction within Kenya's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), led by Saboti MP Caleb Amisi and Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, plans a significant political declaration in Saboti this Sunday, dubbed the Lukhome Declaration. This event signals a growing rift over the party's current alliance with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

• The Lukhome Declaration aims to be an alternative platform for ODM members disillusioned with the party's pro-government stance.
• Key figures involved are Saboti MP Caleb Amisi and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, who have openly challenged ODM leader Raila Odinga's working agreement with President William Ruto's UDA.
• The internal turmoil stems from the March 7 broad-based deal between ODM and UDA, which Amisi likens to the 2018 “handshake” truce, arguing it yielded little benefit for ODM, while Sifuna declared the agreement "effectively dead" due to UDA's alleged failure to honor the 10-point joint agenda.
