Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leader Raila Odinga maintains that neither the ODM Party nor the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party has entered into a coalition agreement with President William Ruto’s UDA party.

Raila’s statement comes on the heels of President Ruto’s decision to reconstitute the cabinet to include four members from the ODM party.

“Neither the ODM Party nor Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party has entered into any coalition agreement with President Ruto’s UDA party. We had anticipated the crafting of clear terms of engagement based on issues we raised in our various communiques,” said Raila.

He, however, extended best wishes to the nominees, who include MP and ODM chair John Mbadi (Treasury), Hassan Joho (Mining), Wycliffe Oparanya (Cooperatives), and Opiyo Wandayi (Energy).

Raila said Azimio will continue to advocate for a national engagement under conditions including compensation for the families of those killed during protests, release of those arrested and the termination of the cases against them, and prosecution of police officers accused of killing protesters.

“ODM remains steadfast in upholding its foundational principles of democracy, good governance, and social justice. These principles shall at all times guide our actions and decisions as we strive for the betterment of our nation,” stated Raila.
