Edwin Sifuna, the Secretary General of Kenya's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), has publicly threatened to resign from the party if it endorses President William Ruto's bid for re-election in 2027. Sifuna emphasized his refusal to support any ODM statement backing Ruto and suggested the potential formation of a new political alliance or 'third force' as a response. Alongside Sifuna, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has also warned of a mass walkout from ODM should the party back Ruto's 2027 presidential campaign. This emerging dissent within ODM is part of a broader political realignment ahead of the 2027 general election, with the proposed Kenya Moja alliance—comprising breakaway politicians from the camps of President Ruto, Raila Odinga, and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua—expected to challenge the current political dominance of the Ruto-Gachagua coalition. The Kenya Moja alliance's formation is anticipated to complicate the electoral landscape. Meanwhile, Deputy President Gachagua has cautioned leaders considering abandoning the 'wantam' movement, signaling tensions within the ruling coalition. Additionally, former President Uhuru Kenyatta's party has reportedly made a conditional offer to Raila Odinga concerning the 2027 State House race. Political analysts note that President Ruto's re-election argument will likely hinge on the fulfillment of social contracts, completion of infrastructure projects, and economic improvements since 2022.
