The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has dismissed claims of seeking the Deputy President's seat during power-sharing negotiations with President William Ruto's party, ahead of the 2027 elections.

• Oburu Odinga, ODM party leader, clarified that their focus is on strengthening influence within the government and securing benefits for supporters, not replacing Deputy President Kithure Kindiki.
• ODM's negotiations with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) aim to achieve a "fair share" of the national cake and ensure greater leverage and political continuity.
• The cooperation has exposed divisions within ODM, with some members concerned about losing the party's opposition identity.
