A meeting of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Central Committee held in Vipingo, Kilifi County, on Monday, January 12, resolved to begin pre-election coalition talks with parties, including President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA), ahead of the August 2027 elections.

The committee tasked Party Leader Oburu Oginga to lead negotiations with potential partners for a formidable formation that will ensure ODM is part of the government after the polls.
