ODM Party Leader Oburu Oginga has criticized former President Uhuru Kenyatta for attempting to revive the Azimio coalition, stating that Azimio is "moribund" without ODM. He rejected leadership changes proposed by Kenyatta, which included appointing Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka as party leader, asserting that ODM was not involved in the decision-making process.

• Oburu Oginga declared that ODM had "left" Azimio "a long time ago" and views any unilateral decision on leadership as "invalid."
• The controversy stems from Uhuru Kenyatta's faction attempting to reorganize Azimio's hierarchy without ODM's involvement.
• During a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Mombasa, Oburu Oginga also addressed internal party rebels and affirmed ongoing discussions with UDA regarding a "broad-based government" ahead of the 2027 elections.
