ODM rebels in Vihiga vow to field presidential candidate in 2027 amid coalition row

The Linda Mwananchi faction of the Orange Democratic Movement Party maintains that it is the custodian of the ideals of the ODM Party, accusing party leader Oburu Oginga of betrayal. Speaking in Vihiga County on Saturday, the leaders launched a scathing attack on the Siaya senator, trashing any planned talks between ODM and the ruling UDA party. And as Laura Otieno reports, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has revived talk of fielding a presidential candidate under the ODM flag, while accusing President William Ruto of running down the economy.
