Lead image for ODM announces plans for joint 2027 manifesto with UDA.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has announced plans to form a joint technical team with United Democratic Alliance (UDA) to draft a shared manifesto that will guide the two parties’ 2027 presidential campaign.
ODM party leader Oburu Oginga said the team would work alongside UDA to develop a common policy agenda that both parties would use as they campaign for the re-election of President William Ruto.
Dr Oginga made it clear that the Orange party has no intention of fielding its own presidential candidate, noting that its members have instead rallied behind Dr Ruto’s bid for a second term.

Dr Oginga reaffirmed that ODM remains committed to supporting the President’s re-election.
Although he did not disclose the members of the technical team, he said they would work closely with Kenya Kwanza to ensure the coalition retains power while securing ODM’s place in government.
