Speaking in Mombasa on Wednesday, February 11, at the beginning of the meeting of the party’s National Central Committee (NEC), Oburu said that plans to cooperate with Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) are ongoing, but he stressed that the success of the talks will depend on the interests of both parties.

He said that ODM will leave UDA if they do not have common ground on important issues.

In that case, the party will look for an alternative, and if that also fails, then it will enter the next vote only. For this, Oburu said the party has not committed to the government or the united opposition so far.

“We are not in a hurry to say two terms. We are strengthening our party to prepare for negotiations. First, we start with our current partners. And as we continue, if we do not agree, we continue to discuss with other existing groups. Or if there is no agreement with any, we do it alone as ODM. I think that is the position of the party. And I am very happy with them. That is what we have been following,” he said.

Oburu repeated his promise to lead the party after Raila Odinga and lead it to success in the next election.

At the same time, he said the party was maintaining the position left by Raila, appearing to support a broad plan.

“Life must continue in his honor. I will do my best until I go to the driver. I would also like to mention that the departed leader left us. He left us somewhere. He left us on a certain basis, and this basis he left us was called broad. And in this broad government, we have our partners who are the UDA. They are our partners with whom he left us. And we continue to bow down and work hard to fulfill the promises and plans that brought us together,” he said.
