How ODM has traded Raila's legacy for Ruto's power

The article discusses the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party's shift in alignment, suggesting that it has moved away from the democratic principles established by its former leader, Raila Odinga, towards supporting President William Ruto's administration. It criticizes Ruto's approach, particularly his use of repressive tactics such as state abductions against critics and perceived opponents. The piece highlights concerns over the erosion of the foundational values that Odinga aimed to uphold through a ten-point agenda meant to address issues like poor governance and rising protests. The article implies that ODM's current stance may reflect a prioritization of Ruto's power over maintaining the legacy of democratic ideals.
