ODM is caught in a deepening internal crisis as divisions widen over its 2025 pact with President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza regime. One faction led by Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna and younger, reform-minded leaders vigorously opposes collaboration, arguing it undermines ODM’s role as a credible opposition and accusing colleagues aligned with Ruto of betraying party identity. Another camp, including high-profile MPs and governors serving in Ruto’s cabinet, insists the cooperation offers a pragmatic avenue to influence policy and deliver development.
