Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has sparked fresh political debate after making a bold statement about his future in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
The outspoken lawmaker said he will not run on an ODM ticket if the party decides to work closely with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
Amisi shared his position in a firm message, making it clear that his decision is final and based on his personal political stand.
According to him, any formal partnership between ODM and UDA would force him to rethink his political path.
“If ODM joins UDA, I will not vie under ODM. It is as simple as that,” he said.
The MP, however, explained that his remarks should not be taken as a personal attack against UDA or its supporters.
He said he has no personal problem with the party but feels that its leadership has not done enough to improve the lives of ordinary Kenyans.
Amisi’s statement comes at a time when political discussions about possible alliances are slowly gaining attention across the country.
As leaders begin to position themselves ahead of the next General Election, talks of cooperation between major political parties have raised questions among supporters and politicians alike.
His remarks also reflect concerns among some ODM members who fear that joining hands with the ruling party could weaken the opposition’s role.
Many believe such a move could confuse voters who have supported the party based on its strong stand against the government.
Political observers say Amisi’s declaration shows that internal differences could emerge if major coalition changes happen.
Some leaders may choose to run as independent candidates or look for alternative political parties rather than follow their party into a new alliance.
For residents of Saboti Constituency, the statement introduces uncertainty about the political direction their MP may take in the future.
Voters will be watching closely to see whether party decisions at the national level will affect local leadership choices.
As the country slowly moves toward the next election period, leaders are expected to make more public declarations about their political positions.
Amisi’s message highlights the growing tension around possible political realignments and the difficult balance between party loyalty, personal beliefs, and the expectations of the people they represent.
The coming months are likely to shape the political landscape, as parties and leaders decide where they stand in the changing political environment.
