A dispute over electoral zoning between the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is creating uncertainty for affiliate parties within the Kenya Kwanza coalition ahead of the 2027 General Election.

• The core of the conflict is deciding which party gets to field candidates in specific electoral areas.
• Key figures involved include ODM's Dr. Oburu Oginga and UDA Secretary-General Hassan Omar, who hold opposing views on zoning.
• This disagreement highlights divisions within Kenya Kwanza and challenges the push for a unified party structure, impacting smaller coalition partners like the Amani National Congress (ANC) and Ford-Kenya.
