The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) top brass is crafting a list of demands it intends to anchor in pre-election negotiations with President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) as the party intensifies the bid to rally supporters to back the talks.

Both sides are now expected to nominate members who will sit on the joint negotiations committee to hammer out the finer details. That follows the approval of the process by top decision-making organs in UDA and ODM.
