A recent ODM rally in Kisumu, intended to project unity for the 2027 General Election, instead highlighted significant internal rifts within the party, particularly within the faction led by Dr. Oburu Oginga.

• Key senior party officials, including ODM vice-chairperson Otiende Amollo and National Assembly Minority Whip Millie Odhiambo, were notably absent.
• The absence of National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohammed, a close ally of former ODM leader Raila Odinga, signals a deeper power struggle, potentially over party management and resources.
• Concerns have also been raised by some leaders, such as Ruth Odinga, about the party's direction and the need to accommodate younger leaders, referencing a potential fallout regarding support for President William Ruto's re-election bid.
