Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has shed light on whether an agreement exists between the Orange Democratic Party (ODM) and the Kenya Kwanza regime that binds the two legally.
This comes amid reports that an agreement has been signed between President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga that will see the two parties work together once unveiled.
But on Monday, Wanga clarified that the ODM party is yet to hammer out any deal with the UDA to formalise their partnership.
''So far, ODM and Kenya Kwanza- UDA do not have any formal agreement or documentation that defines our arrangement,'' she said in an interview.
''I think that is why as soon as the party leader (Raila) came back, he began consultations and the consultations are with his supporters.''
She further emphasised that the political consultations currently being undertaken by Raila across the country will enable him to get a sense of political direction after the African Union Commission loss.
''He will later tell us what he has heard, and he will bring them(feedback) to the organs of the party and what direction the party will take,'' the Homabay Governor stated.
Wanga further disclosed that the current arrangement is in the context of a broad-based government that saw several ODM members join the Kenya Kwanza government executive.
In addition to the consultations Raila is holding, the ODM National Chairperson also added that there are other factors the party is closely considering that come into play.
Among them are Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's remarks that saw him ask the Former Prime Minister to declare his political direction in regard to whether he would support Ruto in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
She added that the future decisions of the party will be based on the alignment of ideologies.
ODM supporters are waiting to see the next move the party will take after the ongoing consultations.
A week ago, the former prime minister had hinted he would announce his next move soon.
''Watch this space. I'm going to make a statement next week,'' Odinga said.
