MP Caleb Amisi Alleges How Ruto is Using Oburu Odinga, Uncovers Three Ongoing Plans Behind His Back

Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has ignited fresh controversy within opposition politics after issuing a strongly worded statement accusing powerful political actors of undermining the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) from within while exploiting its senior leadership for broader strategic ends.

His remarks reflect growing unease inside the party as Kenya’s political landscape rapidly shifts ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Amisi alleged that ODM is being dragged into premature political battles at a time when rival parties are quietly reorganizing and expanding their influence.

He warned that while ODM is preoccupied with internal power struggles and confrontations, new political formations linked to figures such as Eliud Owalo and David Ochieng are emerging, and the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is steadily making inroads into traditional ODM strongholds, including Nyanza and Western Kenya.

At the center of Amisi’s concern is ODM deputy party leader Senator Oburu Odinga. 

The MP urged Oburu to exercise restraint, arguing that the current pace and style of political engagement risk damaging the party’s long-term stability and legacy associated with Raila Odinga.

According to Amisi, ODM is being pushed into unnecessary internal conflict far too early, despite elections being scheduled for 2027, not early 2026.

Amisi outlined what he described as three unfolding political realities. First, he claimed that ODM is losing focus by engaging in confrontational politics while competitors consolidate quietly.

Second, he warned that emerging parties and UDA’s growing footprint in opposition zones signal a changing voter mood that ODM cannot afford to ignore.

Third, he suggested that President William Ruto does not require ODM as a united force but would benefit more from a fragmented opposition weakened by internal rivalries.

In his remarks, Amisi also raised alarm over rising political intolerance, alleging that inflammatory rhetoric and internal aggression are creating a hostile environment for dissenting voices within the party.

While these claims remain allegations, they reveal growing anxiety among some ODM leaders about shrinking democratic space within opposition politics.

Drawing lessons from Kenya’s political history, MP Caleb Amisi cautioned that unchecked internal divisions could erode even the most dominant parties.

He referenced past political outfits that lost relevance after internal power struggles overtook ideology and grassroots connection.
