ODM to Stay in Broad-based Government till 2027

The Orange Democratic Movement has reaffirmed its commitment to remain part of President William Ruto’s broad-based government. “We reiterate the commitment of the party to the broad-based government until 2027, a relationship guided by the ten-point agenda entered into for the sake of peace and stability of the country,” said ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna speaking after a Central Management Committee meeting held in Nairobi on Monday, October 27, 2025. “We reiterate the commitment of the party to the broad-based government until 2027, a relationship guided by the ten-point agenda entered into for the sake of peace and stability of the country,” said Sifuna. He emphasised that ODM’s participation in government was not an act of submission, but rather a continuation of Raila’s statesmanship and his desire to see Kenya move forward in unity. “ODM is not just a political party; it is a covenant. A covenant that we, the living, must now renew,” Sifuna said. “Let us resist the temptation to scatter in despair, or to fight over his political inheritance as leaders often do when giants fall.” Sifuna maintained that ODM remains united and will stay focused on its core mission of representing the people’s interests. He accused some sections of the media of attempting to sensationalise internal debates and create unnecessary tension within the party. Sifuna also announced that the party had resolved to hold a series of memorial services across the country in honour of Raila.
