Saboti MP Caleb Amisi and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna have threatened a mass walkout from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) if the party endorses President William Ruto’s re-election bid in 2027. Their "Lukhome Declaration" signals a growing rebellion within ODM against its warming ties with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

• The potential mass defection would be triggered by ODM’s endorsement of President William Ruto for the 2027 elections.
• Key figures involved include Saboti MP Caleb Amisi and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, who is also current Secretary General of ODM.
• The dissent stems from a "broad-based" agreement formalized in March between ODM leader Raila Odinga and President Ruto, which critics argue has yielded little benefit for ODM’s grassroots supporters.
