“Regarding those positions, we will speak, saying it is 50-50. If they take half, ODM also takes half. If they take the Presidency, the Deputy is ODM. That is how we will talk as we move forward.
When we go into negotiations, we will go knowing that we are a big party. And as we have said, we will talk about positions, yes, but first, we will also talk about the issues of the citizens.” she said
Accoridng to Wanga, the party was granted permission to engage in the talks after the recent special delegates’ conference.
“People who divide Kenyans, those who divide Kenyans on tribal grounds, people of insults, people who do not understand themselves—those are people we cannot talk to,” she said
Wanga was speaking in Muhoroni where she said the party has loyal members and that they will remain at the same position come 2027.
