Siaya Governor James Orengo has accused President William Ruto of “killing” the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), claiming the party’s failure to field a presidential candidate in the 2027 General Election marks the collapse of a political outfit that once provided a national platform for the opposition.
Orengo said it was a shame that ODM, a party that has participated in every election with a presidential candidate, was now unlikely to have one in the next election, blaming Ruto for weakening the party after entering into a political arrangement with the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
“If Ruto loved Raila the way he says he loved Raila, he could not kill the party founded by Raila,” Orengo said.
Orengo spoke on Thursday at his Kisumu home, where he hosted a delegation of Linda Mwananchi supporters and aspirants from Homa Bay and Migori counties.
