According to Joho, the only position currently under discussion is the presidency.
He explained that talks are ongoing as the party considers possible alliances and strategies for the top seat.
However, he stressed that for all other positions, ODM will present its own candidates.
“I want to confirm that ODM, as a party, will field candidates in all positions. The only one we are negotiating is the presidency,” Joho said.
“As for all other seats, we should have candidates and campaign strongly for them.”
His remarks point to a broader strategy within ODM to strengthen its presence at every level of leadership.
By fielding candidates across the board, the party hopes to secure influence in Parliament, county governments, and other key institutions.
Joho also noted that party members must be ready to actively support those selected to run under the ODM ticket.
He encouraged unity within the party, saying that strong internal backing will be necessary to compete effectively with rivals.
He added that he personally plans to take part in the campaigns, showing commitment not just as a leader but also as a candidate.
While he did not go into details about the specific seat he may contest, his statement suggests he is preparing for a return to elective politics.
The ODM party has for years been one of the major political forces in Kenya, with a strong base in several regions.
Joho’s comments are seen as an effort to energise supporters and reassure them that the party remains organised and ready for the next political contest.
At the same time, his mention of ongoing negotiations over the presidency highlights the shifting nature of political alliances in the country.
Kenyan politics often involves coalition-building, especially when it comes to the top seat, and ODM appears to be keeping its options open.
Political observers say the party’s decision to field candidates widely could increase competition in many areas.
It may also push other parties to strengthen their own strategies as they prepare for the elections.
