The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) are preparing for a three-day retreat in Naivasha, Nakuru County, set to begin on Sunday, August 10, 2026. The purpose of the meeting is to collaborate on a strategy for the 2027 general elections and address several contentious issues. A team will be formed ahead of the elections to initiate coalition talks between the two parties.
Notable attendees include governors, deputy governors, MPs, senators, cabinet secretaries, and speakers of parliament. Majority Leader in the National Assembly, Kimani Ichung'wah, announced the agenda, which will cover various topics such as the Deputy President position, the National Dialogue Committee report, compensation for protest victims, and President Ruto's Beyond Vision 2030 agenda.
ODM leader Stewart Madzayo emphasized that the Deputy President position should come from the ODM party and that the two parties intend to share power equally if they support Ruto's re-election.
