Candidate announcement
NAIROBI,Kenya Oct 11 – Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has made the Deputy President position a condition for backing President William Ruto’s re-election bid, signalling the party’s intention to secure a bigger stake in government ahead of the 2027 General Election.
ODM chairperson Gladys Wanga said the party was willing to work with Ruto but expected any pre-election agreement to recognise its political strength by allocating it the running mate position.
Speaking at a party event in Kakamega, Wanga said ODM would expect one of its own to become Deputy President if Ruto wins a second term.
