ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna has called for a National Delegated Council (NDC) vote to decide the future direction of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, as internal divisions deepen over a potential alliance with President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) for the 2027 elections.

• Sifuna criticized party members attempting to "sell ODM" to President Ruto, insisting all major decisions must involve the entire party.
• Two main factions are emerging within ODM: one led by Sifuna, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, and Siaya Governor James Orengo, opposing a pre-election pact with UDA; and another led by Party Leader Oburu Oginga and Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, exploring cooperation with Ruto.
• The internal struggles follow the death of founding leader Raila Odinga in October, with Deputy Party Leader Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir suggesting cooperation with UDA is a strategic move to safeguard party interests.
