Gladys Wanga announces that the ODM party will field candidates in all positions including the presidency in 2027.
Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) chairperson and Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has announced that the party will field all elective positions in the 2027 General Election.
Speaking during the reception of interim party leader Anyang’ Nyong’o on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, Wanga confidently asserted that the party will field candidates for all positions including the presidency, during the 2027 General Election.
“In the coming election, we hope that our party will sweep seats starting from MCA, MPs, Senators, Governors, and we are not going to leave any seat including the presidency of this country,” she said.
At the same time, Wanga expressed support for the new ODM leader saying all party members will rally behind Nyong’o’s leadership.
On his part, Nyong’o expressed optimism that the party will rule the country.
He stated that the members will crisscross every part of the country to popularise the party.
“There is a new generation in the party, I am sure that this party will rule this country,” the Kisumu county boss said.

Wanga’s sentiments come hardly four days after Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi revealed that the ODM party would back William Ruto’s candidacy in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a tree-planting exercise in Kericho County on Friday, October 11, Wandayi stated that the opposition party was fully behind the Head of State despite criticism over its controversial decision to join President Ruto’s administration.
“I believe that our political partnership will hold strong beyond 2027. We have decided to work with President William Ruto and will stay committed to that cause. We are part and parcel of the government and the government’s foundations remain strong,” CS Wandayi stated.
“It is our responsibility to ensure the government remains strong. Let us keep supporting the president so that he can continue leading the government even beyond the next elections.”
