Kalonzo dares Raila to take a stand ahead of 2025
Kalonzo Musyoka has called on ODM leader Raila Odinga to clarify whether his party is aligned with the government or the opposition
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has called on ODM leader Raila Odinga to clarify whether his party is aligned with the government or the opposition.
In a statement on Thursday, December 19, Kalonzo asked Raila to ensure the orange party takes a definitive stand before the start of the new year, 2025.
“We also want ODM to tell us before the new year 2025: Are you in the opposition or in government? You have to have a clear stand,” Kalonzo remarked.
The former vice president’s remarks come after some members of the ODM party previously joined President William Ruto’s government.
In October, Raila maintained that ODM had not joined the government, affirming that the party was firmly in the opposition.

The ODM leader claimed that the party only allowed some of its members to join the government and that the party did not have any signed agreement with the government.
“I want to be on record today. We have not entered the government. There is no contract that we have signed with Kenya Kwanza. We have not signed any agreement.
“What is there is that they asked us to give them some people to go and help them. We released those people but ODM remains firmly in opposition as an opposition party,” Raila remarked.
Meanwhile, the former Prime Minister, who is now eyeing the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson seat, has received immense support from the government ahead of the elections in February 2025.
