Oburu Odinga, leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), has publicly denied aiming for the Deputy President position in potential 2027 coalition talks with President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA). He clarified that while ODM seeks a fair share in government, they do not intend to unseat current Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.

• Oburu Odinga stated ODM would negotiate for what their "party and community deserve" without targeting Kindiki's Deputy President role.
• The statement came during an event in Kisumu County, attended by President William Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.
• Speculation arose from earlier statements, including ODM Chairperson Gladys Wanga's insistence on a 50-50 government share of the government in 2027.
• Previously, in November 2025, Oburu indicated ODM would not consider anything less than the DP position in negotiations.
