UDA and ODM have initiated high-level talks to resolve a growing dispute over political zoning ahead of the 2027 General Election.

• The discussions, expected to be led by President William Ruto and ODM leader Oburu Oginga, aim to establish a framework for pre-election agreements.
• UDA National Chairperson Cecily Mbarire confirmed that the parties are escalating consultations to manage emerging tensions and anxieties surrounding zoning strategies.
• Oburu Oginga emphasized that negotiations are focused solely on UDA and clarified that zoning is a future discussion point, not a current agreement, while vowing to protect ODM's strongholds.
