Junet Mohammed Clarifies ODM’s Zoning Demands in Talks with UDA
Suna East Member of Parliament Junet Mohammed has moved to clarify the Orange Democratic Movement’s (ODM) position on zoning arrangements in its ongoing engagement with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), stating that the party’s intentions have been widely misunderstood.
Speaking at a public event in the Nyanza region, the vocal legislator emphasized that ODM is not seeking preferential treatment or showing fear ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Instead, he said, the party’s call for zoning is a strategic move aimed at strengthening a potential coalition by minimizing internal competition.
According to Junet Mohammed, ODM remains confident in its political strength and is fully prepared to face off with UDA if coalition talks collapse.
However, he noted that discussions around zoning are meant to prevent what he termed as “friendly fire” between allied parties, which could weaken their overall chances against rival political formations.

The ODM party had earlier raised concerns over what it described as disrespect and undermining behavior from some UDA leaders, temporarily halting discussions. Junet reiterated that mutual respect remains a key condition for any meaningful engagement moving forward.
He further explained that ODM is keen on maintaining its dominance in traditional strongholds, including Nyanza, the Coast, and Western regions. The lawmaker argued that allowing unnecessary competition in these areas could split votes and inadvertently benefit opponents.
The clarification comes amid heightened political activity and realignments as parties begin positioning themselves ahead of the next general election.
ODM’s stance signals a calculated approach to coalition-building, with a focus on unity and strategic cooperation rather than rivalry within potential alliances.
As negotiations continue, Junet’s remarks are expected to shape the direction of future talks between ODM and UDA.
