ODM Seeks Early 2027 Pact with Ruto's Party

Kenya's main opposition party is moving to form a pre-election coalition with the ruling party, a major shift in the country's politics. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) is seeking an early alliance with President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA). The goal is to build a coalition ahead of the 2027 General Election. This strategy marks a return to coalition politics for ODM. The party has historically used partnerships to gain political power. If successful, the move would reshape the political landscape years before the next national vote. It signals a potential realignment of Kenya's major political forces.
