President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga appear to be in the final stages of reviving the Pentagon political alliance once used by the opposition in a bid to unseat the late President Mwai Kibaki. The new formation brings together perceived political kingpins from across the country, with the aim of consolidating regional support to secure President Ruto a second term. According to insiders, it is now almost certain that Raila Odinga will back Ruto in the 2027 elections.
