Friday, November 29, 2024 – President William Ruto may be in for a rude shock come 2027 if the statement by ODM Chairperson Gladys Wanga is anything to by.
This is after Wanga, who is
also the Homa Bay Governor, hinted at what ODM is planning behind President
William Ruto’s back despite forming a broad-based government with former Prime
Minister Raila Odinga.
Speaking in Rangwe, Wanga
revealed that ODM is preparing to capture power in the 2027 General Elections and
therefore will not support anybody else, including Ruto, as earlier perceived,
especially after the thunderous reception the President received in Baba’s
‘bedroom’ recently.
She lauded the party for how it
conducted its grassroots elections, stating that a party eyeing power must be
organized and vibrant.
"That is what, that is what
we were looking for. I want to say that with these grassroots elections, ODM is
preparing to capture power in 2027 because the purpose of any political party
is to capture power.”
“For us to capture power we have
to be organized and vibrant at the very grassroots level where we come
from," she said.
Wanga mentioned that ODM is the
only party able to carry out peaceful grassroots elections, adding that it is
also the only party that respects the Constitution.
"ODM is the only party that
is able to carry out this kind of election, other parties are not able to do
this.”
“The Registrar of Political
Parties also said that ODM is the only party that is fully following the
Constitution of Kenya," she added.
This comes slightly a month
after Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o expressed confidence that the ODM party
is destined to lead Kenya.
