Kenya's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi have threatened to resign and lead a mass walkout from the party if ODM endorses President William Ruto's bid for re-election in 2027. Sifuna stated he would not support Ruto and hinted at forming a new political alliance, described as a 'third force.' Both politicians have expressed their unwillingness to read any ODM statement supporting Ruto. Meanwhile, President Ruto is actively working to regain support in the vote-rich Mt Kenya region by enlisting experienced politicians, including Henry Kiunjuri, to help reverse declining backing. Ruto recently declared himself Kenya's best-ever president and launched construction plans for the Nithi Bridge. The political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections is marked by growing opposition challenges and internal party tensions, with the Kenya Moja alliance also threatening the Ruto-Gachagua administration's influence.
