Raila led ODM (Orange Democratic Movement) denies reports that it has commenced plans to exit the Azimio la Umoja coalition.
In a statement released on Thursday, the party led by Raila Odinga, flagged a letter purportedly indicating their plans to withdraw from the Azimio agreement as fake.
ODM insisted that it was still part of the coalition advising the general people to disregard the letter.
“Only fake minds, fake things,” the party clarified.
ODM party issued the response after the letter went viral on social media, making it to trend for the better part of the day.
The fictitious letter to the Registrar of Political Parties Ann Nderitu purports that ODM’s decision to quit the coalition led by former president Uhuru Kenyatta was motivated by mistrust among coalition members.

Notably, leaders of the Azimio constituent parties and close allies of Raila have been at odds over the dialogue report.
Raila’s close aide, Makau Mutua recently called on Jubilee Party Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni and Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua to leave the coalition over their stance on the National Dialogue Committee (bipartisan) report.
ODM had endorsed the report, while other coalition leaders like Karua expressed their dissent over the report.
His remarks forced Kioni to hit back, sparking tensions in the coalition which has been marred with distrust and the rise of splinter groups after Raila lost the election to President William Ruto.
