Orange Democratic Movement leader addressed party legislators during a parliamentary gathering in Machakos County. The former prime minister emphasized that his political alliance with United Democratic Alliance remains active through 2027 exclusively. Party members received clear instructions against making unauthorized statements regarding future electoral strategies.
The veteran politician condemned speculation from party representatives about supporting President William Ruto's potential reelection bid. He reminded attendees that official party positions require formal discussion through established decision-making channels. The meeting preceded October celebrations marking twenty years since ODM's formation.
Party leadership has not determined whether to present a presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections. The political veteran stressed that members should prioritize their ODM identity while supporting existing governmental agreements. His remarks directly challenged those promoting the Kenya Kwanza administration's campaign messaging within traditional ODM strongholds.
