KENYA KWANZA, ODM resolve to form coalition ahead of 2027 poll, President Ruto says the two sides have nominated 5 members each to come up with joint manifesto.

Pres William Ruto: In the coming election we must win, by God's grace, because we do not have an option. The alternative is difficult to fathom. Inshallah, we must win the next election not for your sake but for the sake of Kenya. #Decision2027
