Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Oburu Oginga has declared that he will be the party’s presidential candidate if ODM opts to contest the 2027 General Election on its own. Oburu said the ODM constitution is explicit that the party leader automatically becomes its presidential candidate in the event the party chooses to go it alone. That presidential candidate is clearly stated in the constitution of our party, and it is the party leader. I am the presidential candidate for ODM if ODM decides that it goes it alone,” Oburu said. The ODM party leader added that ODM is closely monitoring the implementation of the 10-point agenda signed between Raila Odinga and President William Ruto.
