Mount Kenya Leaders Warn ODM Over Deputy President Position - February 2026

Leaders from the Mount Kenya region have rejected the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party's claim for the Deputy President position. They issued a warning to the ODM party specifically regarding the position of Deputy President Kindiki. The warning came after remarks by Dr. Oburu Oginga, an ODM party leader, who suggested a presidential running mate from the Mount Kenya region in the next general election. These remarks drew sharp criticism from UDA leaders in the region. The rejection of ODM's claim was announced during a live broadcast on KTN News Kenya.
