The Orange Democratic Movement officially began its zombie walk toward merging with the ruling government. Oburu Oginga led the Linda Ground tour in Malaba town to convince supporters that joining forces with President William Ruto is actually smart. He rallied delegates alongside Simba Arati, Gladys Wanga, and Opiyo Wandayi to secure loyalty across Western Kenya. They met Iteso elder Emorimori Paul Sande Emolot and pushed the crowd to chant slogans supporting the party.
Wanga insists this mobilization drives their strategy for the upcoming election cycle. The team plans to visit the Golf hotel in Kakamega for more speeches after securing endorsements from Busia county representatives. These local leaders unanimously agreed to pursue coalition talks with the United Democratic Alliance and check if the government respected their ten-point agenda.
Edwin Sifuna and Babu Owino noticeably ghosted the entire function. These two vocal critics refuse to support any arrangement that turns the party into a cheerleader for President Ruto. They argue the late founder Raila Odinga never promised to back the incumbent for a second term despite signing an agreement at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre. Sifuna even skipped the Kilifi gathering where executives sanctioned the partnership.
UDA leadership recently approved structured engagements to finalize this pact soon. Agnes Zani heads a committee currently reviewing the NADCO report to see if previous promises were kept. The results of her review will likely decide if the opposition permanently aligns itself with the president.
