ODM MP Sends New Demands to Ruto After State House Consultative Meeting
A fresh political twist has emerged following a high-level consultative meeting at State House between President William Ruto and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Oburu Odinga.
The meeting, aimed at easing tensions and fostering unity amid ongoing political engagements, appears to have triggered new demands within ODM ranks.
Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament Peter Kaluma has now outlined conditions for a potential pre-election coalition between ODM and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
In a strongly worded statement, Kaluma declared that ODM would only consider a coalition arrangement if it secures the Deputy President position should UDA retain the presidency in the 2027 general elections.

He emphasized that the proposed coalition would field a single candidate across all elective seats, from the presidency down to Members of County Assembly, based on party strength and regional popularity.
Kaluma further insisted that any agreement must be anchored on clear governance principles, including respect for devolution, human rights, accountability, and national unity. He also stressed the need for equitable sharing of national resources and representation in public service across all regions.
The legislator singled out Homa Bay County as a stronghold that ODM should retain without compromise, warning against what he termed as opportunistic UDA aspirants.
His remarks signal growing internal pressure within ODM as coalition talks gain momentum ahead of 2027, potentially reshaping Kenya’s political landscape.
