Mombasa Governor and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Deputy Party leader Abdullswamad Sheriff Nassir has announced the party’s next move after the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during the burial of Beryl Achieng Odinga in Bondo on December 6th, Nassir said ODM will either be part of the government or form the government.

“Come 2027, two things are there, we are either going to be forming government or we are going to be part of the government and it is nothing new,” Nassir declared.
