ODM Ready To Battle It Out For Power In 2027 Says Sifuna
Addressing the press on Friday, Sifuna however said they are, at the moment, guarded in remarks regarding the 2027 elections.
“We exist as a political party independently and are ready to battle it out for power with all the other existing political parties,” he said.
Sifuna added that as ODM party leaders, they are only focused on their issues and are strengthening themselves to clinch the top seat in the 2027 general elections.
He reiterated that they will not address or comment on issues to do with other political parties.
On Thursday while speaking on Citizen TV, Sifuna maintained that there is no agreement between ODM and the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA), concerning the 2027 elections.
“I can speak authoritatively; there is no agreement between ODM and UDA about 2027,” Sifuna said.
The SG noted that while ODM and UDA are currently working together in the broad-based government approach, they have clear instructions for their Raila Odinga that ODM must retain its identity.
Sifuna said the party has also not stopped its quest to govern the country because that would mean closing it down.
“Raila Odinga has left specific and clear instructions to all of us, including some of the people who are speaking there, that first of all, ODM must retain its identity as a political party,” he said.
“Number two, that we have not given up the quest to acquire power, otherwise you fold up your party and go. Political parties exist for this whole purpose of winning powers or democratic means.”
“Every single time since ODM was formed, we are celebrating 20 years this year since this party was formed, every single election, ODM has run a candidate for president, and it’s not going to be different.”
