Opposition leader Raila Odinga’s ODM party is caught between a rock and a hard place, as party members are torn between backing President William Ruto’s re-election and launching their own bid for the presidency.

The Standard has established that mixed signals from key party stalwarts have led to a state of anxiety within the party.

In recent weeks, senior party leaders have thrown their weight behind Ruto’s re-election, even as some claim the party risks diluting its own support in key bases by backing the Kenya Kwanza leader.
