The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party plans to challenge President William Ruto's re-election in 2027 by fielding its own presidential candidate, according to Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o. Despite this, Nyong'o also indicated ODM's openness to potential negotiations or a coalition with Ruto's administration before the election.

• Most important fact: ODM will field a presidential candidate against William Ruto in 2027.
• Key person: Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o.
• Notable detail: ODM maintains it is in opposition and only "participating in" government, not "part of" it, despite Raila Odinga's recent remarks supporting cooperation beyond 2027.
