Governors from the western region, Fernandes Barasa (Kakamega), Paul Otuoma (Busia), Wilbur Ottichilo (Vihiga) and Ken Lusaka (Bungoma) have endorsed the decision by the ODM party’s Central Management Committee to initiate negotiations with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) over a possible coalition ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Speaking in Kakamega, the governors said they are fully behind the party leadership under Hon. Oburu Odinga, noting that the move is strategic and necessary for the region to remain united and strengthen its bargaining power as the next elections approach.

The leaders emphasized that a united political front will enable the western region to effectively push its development agenda and secure meaningful representation at the national level.

They further affirmed their commitment to continue working within the broad-based government, adding that they will support the re-election of President William Ruto in 2027, citing the need for political stability and sustained development across the country.
