The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has stated that its support for the ruling UDA in ongoing talks is contingent on their key demand: electoral zoning for the 2027 polls.

• The ODM is pushing for an agreement where UDA would not field candidates in areas where ODM already holds elected positions, from MCAs to governors.
• Key figures involved include Oburu Oginga, ODM party leader, Abdulswamad Nassir, Deputy party leader, and Simba Arati, Kisii Governor and Deputy party leader.
• Oburu Oginga emphasized that while the ODM is strong enough to win independently, alliances are being pursued due to the complex political landscape in Kenya.
