Kenyan President William Ruto is actively working to defuse escalating political tensions and prevent a split within the broad-based government arrangement between his UDA party and the ODM party.

• ODM officials have accused senior UDA government officials, including Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Interior PS Raymond Omollo, of attempting to weaken their party.
• ODM party leader Oburu Oginga has called for a crisis meeting amidst widening divisions within his party, with factions disagreeing on the implications of the coalition talks.
• President Ruto has publicly pledged to rein in his lieutenants and ensure the UDA-ODM alliance endures beyond the 2027 General Election, stating, "Our country is better when UDA and ODM are together."
