The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is moving to formalise a political coalition with the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) ahead of the 2027 General Election, following a meeting of its National Executive Committee (NEC).

• The NEC mandated President William Ruto to establish mechanisms for structured engagement with ODM to negotiate a coalition agreement.
• The partnership has already resulted in the adoption of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report and success in November 27, 2025 by-elections, seeing UDA and ODM candidates jointly win all contested Senate and National Assembly seats.
• The UDA is also reorganizing its grassroots structures, having held elections across 20 counties on January 10, 2026, which attracted 492,439 candidates vying for 231,770 positions with 2.4 million party members participating.
