Ruto Dismisses ODM’s Boast of Being Largest Party, Urges Cooperation Instead

President William Ruto has publicly pushed back against recent claims by ODM officials, including Gladys Wanga, who boasted that their party is the largest across East and Central Africa, stretching from the Sahara to the Limpopo.

Ruto dismissed the assertions as overblown but framed his remarks as part of a larger plea for collaboration with ODM.

In a candid reflection, Ruto acknowledged that his path to the presidency was heavily influenced by the late Raila Odinga, whom he described as both a mentor and a political guide.

He urged ODM leaders to move past internal disputes and “walk together” with Kenya Kwanza, emphasizing that national development and political stability should take precedence over party rivalries, especially with future elections on the horizon.

The president’s comments have ignited spirited conversations online. Some Kenyans praised Ruto for challenging what they see as inflated claims, while others questioned his strategy of invoking Raila’s legacy to encourage ODM cooperation.

Social media has become a hotbed of debate, with opinions split on whether Ruto’s statements diminish ODM’s clout or showcase his political acumen.

As of now, ODM has not issued an official response, leaving both political analysts and the public eager to see how the party will address Ruto’s call for unity.

The unfolding discourse highlights the delicate balance between rivalry and collaboration in Kenya’s evolving political landscape.
