The publication says that the continued criticism by ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna of the partnership between party leader Raila Odinga and President William Ruto has stirred debate about the party’s strategy ahead of the 2027 general election.
The report has noted that whether he Nairobi Senator is a rebel indenting to disrupt ODM from within, or he may be acting as Raila’s proxy, laying the groundwork for withdrawing from the coalition between ODM and Ruto’s UDA.
However, In an exclusive interview with NTV at his Karen home on Saturday, Raila said the decision by ODM to partner with President Ruto’s government was meant to preserve national stability.
“We’ve said that we are part of the Unity Government until 2027. We haven’t said we’ll work with UDA beyond 2027.
Those are matters to be discussed at the right time, and the decision will be made by ODM members—not Raila Odinga as an individual,” Raila said.
But Sifuna insists that if ODM continues its partnership with the current administration until 2027, the party won’t have time to properly prepare for the general election.
