EALA MP Winnie Odinga has urged the ODM Party to convene a National Delegates Convention (NDC) to decide the party's future in President William Ruto's broad-based government, describing their current relationship as "complicated." This call comes amid internal party divisions following Raila Odinga's death, with some leaders advocating for continued cooperation with Ruto's administration and others pushing for independence.

• Winnie Odinga stated that Raila Odinga was entrusted with managing the relationship with the ruling UDA Party, and in his absence, the party needs a new mandate from its members.
• Siaya Governor James Orengo dismissed the idea of a long-term alliance with UDA as "idiotic," insisting ODM would not negotiate its political future with Ruto.
• ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna supported the idea of returning decisions to the grassroots, pledging loyalty to acting party leader Oburu Oginga.
• Some ODM leaders, including Hassan Joho and Gladys Wanga, vowed to continue their alliance with Ruto's government, stating Raila Odinga instructed them to do so.
• President Ruto, speaking at Raila's funeral, vowed to safeguard ODM and ensure its strength for the 2027 elections, emphasizing cooperation.
