LUGARI, Kenya — Homa Bay Governor and ODM national chairperson Gladys Wanga has called for renewed political negotiations between the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA), saying dialogue remains critical as the country prepares for the 2027 General Election.
Speaking on December 21, 2025, during an ODM party condolence visit at the home of the late former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo, Wanga said engagement with the government should not be misconstrued as political betrayal but viewed as a constitutional and responsible approach to national leadership.
She noted that structured talks would help stabilise the country, protect democratic institutions, and create space for addressing key concerns raised by Kenyans, including the cost of living, governance reforms, and electoral justice.
Wanga added that ODM would continue to push for dialogue that delivers tangible outcomes for citizens, insisting that any engagement with the ruling coalition must be anchored on accountability and respect for democratic principles as the 2027 polls draw closer.
