Kileleshwa Member of County Assembly Robert Alai has launched a sharp attack on the leadership of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), warning that ongoing internal disputes could weaken President William Ruto’s chances in the 2027 General Election.

In a statement posted on his official X account on Sunday, March 29, 2026, Alai criticised the party’s handling of internal disagreements, saying the leadership had failed to take firm action against dissenting voices. 

He argued that the situation was gradually eroding the party’s strength and credibility.

“The leadership of ODM will destroy President Ruto’s campaign,” Alai stated.

The outspoken MCA expressed concern that continued infighting within ODM could have broader political consequences beyond the party itself.

According to him, the instability threatens to disrupt political alignments and strategies that could influence the next presidential race.

Alai pointed to what he described as a lack of decisive leadership in managing party affairs, accusing those at the helm of allowing divisions to fester.

He warned that unless urgent steps are taken to restore order and unity, the party risks losing its influence on the national stage.

His remarks come at a time when ODM is grappling with internal tensions, with rival factions clashing over leadership positions and the party’s direction.

The disputes have played out publicly in recent weeks, raising concerns among supporters and political observers.

Alai suggested that the leadership’s reluctance to address these issues head-on had created room for confusion and mistrust within the party ranks.

He said this could ultimately weaken ODM’s ability to play a meaningful role in shaping the country’s political future.

While ODM has traditionally been a key player in Kenya’s opposition politics, recent developments have exposed cracks that could affect its cohesion.

Alai’s comments reflect growing unease among some party members over how internal matters are being handled.

He urged the leadership to take responsibility and act swiftly to resolve the disputes, warning that failure to do so could have lasting consequences.

According to him, unity within the party is critical, not only for its own survival but also for its role in the broader political landscape.
