Kenya Kwanza, ODM form team to draft 2027 manifesto

The Kenya Kwanza coalition and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) have joined forces to create a joint 10-member team dedicated to drafting a unified manifesto for the 2027 general election. President William Ruto unveiled this collaboration during a Broad-Based leaders’ media address in Naivasha. Ruto stated that the group will consist of five representatives from each party to work on the coalition's manifesto.

The Kenya Kwanza team will include Emmanuel Nzai, Dr Daniel Mwai, Bramwel Simiyu, and Dr Cecilia Ng'etich, with the UDA Executive Director serving as an ex officio member. On the ODM side, the team will be composed of Isaac Wanuge, Mariam Mbaruk, Leonida Kerubo, and Prof Benard Muok, with the ODM Executive Director acting as an ex officio member.

Ruto emphasized that the coalition aims to build upon the government's progress and existing reforms while presenting the Kenyan people with a common program for the next phase of development. He added that the partnership will transition from cooperation in government to a unified political platform in the run-up to the August 2027 elections.

Furthermore, Ruto and ODM leader Oburu Oginga will each appoint five members to a second team responsible for developing the coalition's framework agreement. This second team will recommend the principles and governance structures that will govern the partnership and propose the necessary leadership arrangements to advance the coalition's goals.
