ODM Faces Leadership Crisis Over Proposed Pact with Ruto's UDA Party

Following the death of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, the ODM party is engulfed in a leadership crisis with two factions emerging. Party leader Oburu Oginga has publicly clashed with Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna over the party's direction and a potential pre-election pact with President William Ruto's UDA party. Oburu is confronting critics over the proposed 2027 deal, which he defends. Meanwhile, Sifuna and other perceived rebels, now joined by Ruth Odinga, question the party's leadership, financial dealings, and the legitimacy of the proposed alliance. The public spat highlights growing internal divisions within ODM, as factions question the source of millions for mobilization drives.
