Kenya's political landscape is shifting dramatically as important figures manoeuvre and coalitions form, reminiscent of the seismic impact of then-President Uhuru Kenyatta's handshake with opposition leader Raila Odinga in 2018.
Following the handshake, the National Super Alliance (Nasa) split, with co-principals establishing the One Kenya Alliance, leaving Raila in quest of a new coalition.
The developing dynamics of Raila's connections, particularly with President William Ruto, are disrupting political alliances. This coalition, known as a "bromance" within Azimio, is under investigation and pressure.
Raila's ODM party's future is uncertain, with succession politics at the forefront. Analysts believe it will risk fragmentation and factionalism if Raila succeeds, similar to Jubilee's demise.
Oparanya, ODM's deputy leader, denied accusations of internal strife, emphasising unity and solidarity while Raila leads.
He acknowledged the possibility of a new coalition in 2027, but urged caution against early negotiations.
