"No Peanuts at the Table": Oburu Odinga Signals Hardline Stance in Coalition Negotiations

Senior Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Oburu Odinga has issued a firm warning to political partners, declaring that his party will not accept a marginal role in any power-sharing arrangement.

Speaking with unmistakable resolve, Odinga stated that ODM, as the largest party in the country, deserves a fair and commensurate share in government and will engage in what he described as “very tough negotiations” to secure it.

Odinga’s remarks come at a time when coalition politics continue to shape Kenya’s governance landscape.

With no single party able to dominate the political arena outright, alliances and negotiated settlements have become central to government formation and stability.
