Speaking amid growing discussions on party strategies ahead of the 2027 general elections, Odhiambo praised UDA's disciplined approach while critiquing others for lagging behind.
Odhiambo, a vocal ODM legislator known for her forthright views, revealed that she has been closely monitoring UDA over the past three months. "I have been observing the party UDA keenly for the last 3 months. CLICK HERE TO READ THE WHOLE STORY
They plan, they organize and execute. They create perception and set the stage for an outcome. Other parties are either playing catch up or cheering on the sidelines," she stated.
This comes at a time when Kenya's political scene is marked by shifting alliances, with UDA led by President William Ruto forming a broad-based government that includes ODM figures, aiming to stabilize governance after periods of unrest.

Her remarks underscore UDA's strategic prowess, which she contrasts with what she sees as distractions in rival parties. In a pointed critique, Odhiambo lashed out at political entities, including ODM, for engaging in "sideshows" while UDA maintains focus on execution.
"They plan, they organize and execute," she emphasized, suggesting that UDA's ability to shape public perception and deliver on plans gives it an edge. Additional commentary circulating online echoes this sentiment, noting that politics is about planning rather than "slogans, noise, selling fear, and emotions."
Odhiambo's observations align with recent developments where UDA has demonstrated organizational strength in by-elections and coalition-building.
For instance, in recent polls like those in Magarini and Kasipul, broad-based consensus among parties such as UDA, ODM, and others has led to mutual support, avoiding direct confrontations.
UDA's Deputy Party Leader has even campaigned for ODM candidates in some areas, reflecting the pragmatic alliances under the broad-based framework.
