Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Oburu Oginga has issued a stern warning to President William Ruto's government, demanding full implementation of the 10-Point Agenda and the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) Report before August 2027.
In a statement by the party on Tuesday, December 2, Dr. Oburu emphasized that while ODM remains committed to the broad-based government arrangement, the ruling administration must not take the party's partnership for granted.
Speaking at Chungwa House during a reception for newly elected Members of the National Assembly, who were set to be sworn in that afternoon, Oburu underscored the party's strength and unity.
"The party is firmly in the Broad-based arrangement, and the government should work hard to implement the 10-Point Agenda that includes full implementation of the NADCO Report before August of 2027," Dr. Oburu stated. "The party is united and strong and should not be taken for granted by anyone."
The remarks come as ODM intensifies pressure on the Kenya Kwanza administration to honor commitments made under the bipartisan agreement signed in March this year between President Ruto and the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

During the consultative meeting held under the Centre for Multiparty Democracy, UDA Secretary-General Senator Hassan Omar provided updates on progress toward implementing the 10-Point Agenda signed between the two parties.
"ODM party is committed to a bilateral engagement that will lead to addressing the issues pointed out in the 10-Point Agenda by the government," party officials confirmed.
ODM Deputy Secretary-General Agnes Zani, who chairs the Committee on the Implementation of the 10-Point Agenda and NADCO Report, indicated that significant progress has been made. She was joined by Senate Minority Leader Stewart Madzayo during the consultative meeting to discuss the implementation process.
The 10-point framework addresses crucial national concerns, including reducing the cost of living, economic recovery and job creation, empowerment of youth and women, electoral justice and reforms, strengthening devolution, anti-corruption measures, public debt audit, equitable appointments, sustainable political party funding, and national healing initiatives, including compensation for victims of the 2024 protests.
The partnership between UDA and ODM was initially formalized on March 7, 2025, at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre.
The agreement was further consolidated on August 18, 2025, during a joint Kenya Kwanza-ODM Parliamentary Group meeting in Karen, attended by both President Ruto and Raila Odinga.
