ODA Suspends Coalition Talks With UDA Over Disrespect

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has suspended coalition talks with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), citing a lack of respect and perceived attempts to undermine the party. Internal discord is surfacing within Kenyan political alliances, with ODM and UDA leaders engaging in public exchanges, signaling potential rifts. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has accused its broad-based partners, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), of disrespect and unwarranted attacks amid escalating political tensions. At the same time, Gen Z and opposition leaders are reportedly planning nationwide protests next week in response to the escalating cost of living, exacerbated by a recent surge in fuel prices. The ruling UDA party has accused former President Uhuru Kenyatta of allegedly funding opposition-led mass protests against the government's economic policies, particularly rising fuel prices.
