Raila Addresses ‘Handshake’ Allegations With Ruto
Raila Odinga, leader of the Azimio faction, rejected claims of endorsing President William Ruto’s proposal for a multi-sectoral forum to resolve recent unrest in Kenya.
Speaking at the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, he accused certain media outlets of misrepresenting his stance.
Instead, Odinga advocated for a national convention to inclusively gather all Kenyan voices and address their concerns.
“We never said we were aligning with Ruto. That’s a media fabrication,” clarified Raila.
He emphasized the necessity of a National Convention where all Kenyans can participate and express their grievances, particularly addressing widespread dissatisfaction with the “Kenya Kwanza” movement.
Odinga proposed that such a convention could effectively tackle longstanding national issues.

Raila’s statements followed recent remarks by ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, indicating the party’s readiness to collaborate with President Ruto’s administration in devising solutions to restore lasting peace and stability. ODM highlighted the urgency of addressing fundamental issues such as unemployment, justice, equality, corruption, and ethnic divisions.
“This dialogue should precede discussions on future national governance structures,” asserted Sifuna, underscoring ODM’s commitment to confronting critical national issues when necessary.
The party reiterated the importance of addressing concerns raised by the youth, emphasizing that national interests must transcend individual agendas.
“We embrace these developments in the hope of initiating sincere efforts to address the grievances expressed by disillusioned youth,” Sifuna concluded.
