Ruto, Oburu agree on team to negotiate coalition agreement and power-sharing framework

The Coalition Framework Agreement and power-sharing structures are now on track following a resolution by Kenya Kwanza and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to establish a joint coalition for the 2027 General Election. After a high-level retreat at the Lake Naivasha Resort, President William Ruto and ODM party leader Dr Oburu Oginga confirmed that technical teams have been officially appointed to work out the details of pre-election governance and power arrangements. The meeting agreed to set up two separate committees: one to work on the power-sharing structure and another to draft a manifesto that the Broad-Based Government Coalition will present to Kenyans as they campaign for President Ruto's re-election. At a press conference at the end of the first day of discussions, the coalition informed journalists that formalising the power-sharing framework will be handled by two dedicated, five-member teams tasked with creating a unified political front.
