Factions Within ODM Clash Over Party's Relationship with President Ruto's Government - November 2025
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is facing significant internal turmoil regarding its alliance with President William Ruto's government. EALA MP Winnie Odinga described the party's current broad-based pact with Ruto as "complicated" and called for a National Delegates Convention to decide its future. She also alleged a plot to sell the ODM party during its 20th-anniversary celebrations in Mombasa. Siaya Governor James Orengo dismissed the push for a coalition by some ODM ministers in Ruto's government as "idiotic," warning it would erode the party's identity. In a similar vein, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino criticized his party's leadership appointments. Tensions are also evident in the Coast region, where allies of Mining CS Hassan Joho are asserting his leadership, and within the wider opposition, where DCP's Cleophas Malala accused a DAP-K leader of colluding with Ruto.
