Democratic Action Party-Kenya (DAP-K) leader Eugene Wamalwa has claimed that the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party is a divided house.
The former Defence Cabinet Secretary made the remarks during an interview with NTV on Monday, June 29, 2026.
“What we have in ODM is a house divided. They are not really fence-sitters, but a division in their own party has put them in a very awkward position because some believed in Baba’s vision, and we shared values. That is what brought us together as Azimio, and that is why we said no to Ruto as president, and everything has gone wrong,” Wamalwa said.
“We are telling those who are still in ODM; we are telling Orengo and Sifuna, if it is not working, do what Baba did,” he said.
Advising Linda Mwananchi
Wamalwa also urged the Linda Mwananchi faction of the ODM to leave and join the opposition.
“We are in the opposition; ODM went into government. What we are saying is that ODM should leave government; if it does not, then those in ODM who believe in Linda Mwananchi should leave the broad-based arrangement and come back to the opposition so that we get back to the factory settings,” Wamalwa added.
In a recent PARS opinion poll, research showed that 52 per cent of Gen Z identify with the Linda Mwananchi movement compared to 14 per cent who recognised the United Opposition.
