Before his demise, Odinga led ODM into the signing of an agreement with the ruling party, UDA, leading to the creation of the broad-based government. In this arrangement, six of his allies with the ODM party were appointed cabinet secretaries. However, the association with the ruling party remains a divisive topic within ODM, with some of the leaders, such as the Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, constantly denying the existence of a commitment to support Mr Ruto in the forthcoming elections.
