Political temperatures are rising as Kenya moves closer to the 2027 general elections. Parties are weighing future alliances while leaders speak carefully about possible cooperation and long term plans.
Within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, debate continues over whether to support President William Ruto in the next race. The issue has drawn strong views from senior members.
Party leader Oburu Odinga said the movement is not rushing to decide on one term or two terms. He explained that current efforts focus on building strong party structures.
The veteran politician noted that talks will first be held with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party. If no agreement is reached, he said other political groups will be approached.
According to Oburu, the party goal is service to citizens rather than quick promises about power. He said partnerships must reflect the needs of Kenyans and not fixed numbers.
His comments come as political formations prepare for intense negotiations before the next polls. Many groups are testing possible paths that could shape the national leadership.
Some ODM officials have opposed early cooperation with President William Ruto and his allies. They argue the party should stand alone and present its own candidate.
Oburu said the movement will keep its options open while talks continue. He stressed that unity inside the party will strengthen its voice in any future agreement.
With months still ahead, ODM leaders say no final stand has been taken. Their approach suggests support for President William Ruto in 2027 will depend on negotiations.
