Mounting rebellion tests the unity pillars of Ruto-Raila's broad-based union

Alarmed that the wars within his Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) were taking up a life of their own, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga Friday moved to quell the tensions.

In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Dennis Onyango, Raila said he was “following” the debate about his party’s relationship with President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the different interpretations of a cooperation agreement the two parties recently signed “with keen interest.”
