Arati Urges Ruto to Rejoin ODM for 2027

Kisii Governor Simba Arati urged President William Ruto to rejoin the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) during Mashujaa Day celebrations, offering him a direct presidential ticket. Arati, ODM deputy leader, said Ruto’s return would help the party advance late Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s vision and ensure ODM either forms the next government or joins a winning coalition in 2027. He praised Raila as a champion of democracy and vowed to uphold his legacy.
