Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has spoken on James Orengo’s allegation that Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta have entered into a deal over the 2022 poll.
Party chairman John Mbadi dismissed the claims that ODM is working on an alliance with the Head of state.
“I want to set the record straight and make it categorical that ODM has not formed any alliance with any party or individual.
“Any contrary opinion should, therefore, be treated as personal,” the National Assembly minority leader told journalists on Thursday.
The Suba South MP disclosed the party has not entered any agreement or negotiations with anyone or any political entity with regard to the 2022 vote.
“It would be premature for anybody to say that we have entered into a political agreement with anybody. Maybe that is Orengo’s wish, which is not bad, but he should not confuse the people that it is the party position.
“As a party, we have been discouraging other people from engaging in early campaigns for 2022 and cannot turn back and start doing the same thing,” Mbadi mentioned.
On Wednesday, during an interview with KTN, the Siaya Senator talked of a possible alliance between ODM Party leader Raila and Uhuru.
"ODM is going for political power and when we are holding these meetings our eyes are set on 2022.
"The contestation for power is going to come from a formation with ODM in it and a formation of Jubilee where Uhuru is playing a role," Orengo stated.
