Buyu: ODM-UDA talks must be party-to-party, not an ethnic deal

Kisumu West MP Rosa Buyu has called for the proposed talks between the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to be treated as a partnership between political parties rather than an ethnic deal. Buyu emphasized that ODM is a national political party with supporters from various ethnic communities and should be recognized as an independent party in any negotiations with UDA.

She urged President William Ruto to approach the discussions with the spirit of national unity and the recognition of the diverse communities represented by both parties. Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot echoed Buyu's sentiments, stressing that UDA recognizes ODM as an important political partner and that the negotiations should be structured to deliver for all Kenyans.
