Ruto: UDA-ODM pact is here to stay Ruto reassures allies amid heightened jostling within the alliance over 2027 elections. Politics 16 min ago

This government is big enough for all of us and no one should be bitter about their presence,” President Ruto said in remarks widely seen as an attempt to steady his broad-based coalition amid growing succession politics.

Speaking during a church service and fundraiser at St Stephen's ACK Church in Moiben, Uasin Gishu County, the President sought to reassure his traditional allies that the inclusion of ODM leaders in government should not be a source of anxiety.

While avoiding direct reference to the growing contest over his running mate, President Ruto instead defended his proposed Vision 2060 development blueprint and called for a broad-based national dialogue beginning on August 12.
