The Siaya governor, a figure in the Linda Mwananchi movement, said he was invited to work with Ruto’s administration but chose not to abandon his path. His remarks come as ODM remains divided over cooperation with the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Orengo has been openly critical of the broad-based arrangement, while other ODM leaders have defended working with Ruto and pointed to government projects and political representation as reasons for the partnership.
The latest comments place Orengo at the centre of a debate dividing ODM supporters.
According to the report, Orengo maintained that the invitation from Ruto did not change his position.
He has continued associating with Linda Mwananchi leaders, including Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, as they push their message ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The movement has promoted the “Wantam” message, calling for Ruto to serve only one term. Orengo’s continued presence alongside the group has added another layer to the growing contest over opposition politics.
His position is significant because he has previously argued that political parties should remain accountable to their members and that leaders should not simply accept government positions without addressing the concerns of ordinary Kenyans.
The disagreement has created an increasingly complicated picture inside ODM, with leaders taking different positions on whether to cooperate with Ruto or maintain a separate political path.
Many people were left talking after Orengo’s latest remarks, while the incident sparked reactions online. Supporters appeared divided as the 2027 political contest draws closer.
What happened next surprised many as the debate over ODM, Linda Mwananchi and the broad-based government continued to grow. What do you think about Orengo’s decision?
