One year on: Has Kenya’s opposition lost its way without Raila Odinga?

A long-standing political alliance is under strain as the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) grapples with internal divisions over its partnership with the president. The party’s future direction hangs in the balance, with factions reportedly clashing over whether to maintain or break ties with the ruling coalition. Critics argue the alliance has weakened ODM’s core principles, while supporters insist it remains a strategic necessity. The fallout could reshape Kenya’s political landscape ahead of key elections.

Odinga’s legacy faces a test as ODM splits over its alliance with President Ruto.
