Tensions between the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and President William Ruto's Kenya Kwanza administration have resurfaced due to a dispute over electoral zoning ahead of the 2027 General Election.

• A proposal to introduce zoning in selected regions has sparked resistance from grassroots supporters and deepened divisions among leaders of both political formations.
• Key figures including National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot attempted to mediate the dispute during rallies in Migori and Homa Bay counties.
• Opponents like former Migori Governor Okoth Obado argued that zoning would discriminate against leaders and impede voters' freedom to choose.
