ODM-UDA team begins fine-tuning joint manifesto ahead of 2027 elections
Political parties ODM and UDA in Kenya are collaborating to draft a joint manifesto ahead of the 2027 general election. The committee aims to consolidate shared policy priorities, such as affordable housing and community health, into a unified platform.
Why it matters
The formation of a joint manifesto signals a significant shift in Kenyan political alliances and long-term governance strategy.
The ODM-UDA manifesto joint committee has started consultations with key political leaders and stakeholders to fine-tune a shared policy document to guide the broad-based government re-election campaign. The team met ODM deputy party leader Abdulswamad Nassir as they raced against time to fine-tune the document ahead of the 2027 General election, which is 10 months away. Nassir, who asked the team to come up with a good document , said they will also meet ODM deputy party Leader Simba Arati as they seek to consolidate the priorities of the two political parties. Addressing the media in Mombasa after meeting the team, Nassir noted that the committee does not have a very big task in fine-tuning the document because both parties have similar aspirations in their documents.
