James Orengo’s visit to Opoda Farm to receive Kalonzo Musyoka is more than a mere political courtesy, it’s a calculated move in Kenya’s evolving succession chessboard. You don’t need to be a political scientist to discern the pattern. The intellectual wing of ODM is steadily gravitating toward Kalonzo, signaling a quiet but deliberate realignment. Behind the scenes, this bears all the hallmarks of Uhuru Kenyatta’s strategic orchestration. It's an attempt by Baba Ngina to consolidate influence and recalibrate the balance of power ahead of 2027.

What about the Two Term Choir Master who is also present "Atandi" Maybe it's Kalonzo leaning towards "Two Term Brigade" 🕛🕧🕐🕜🕑🕝🕒 time will tell

Politics or not, Orengo as Siaya gabana and Raila's close ally and friend has been at Opoda and Kang'o K'Jaramogi to recieve high profile visitors. And Kalonzo having run on a presidential ticket with Jakom, Orengo had to be there.

Nimeona headline ya article online about Kalonzo going to Raila's. Mimi Kenya hunishangaza. How is it that this dude is now seeming like an angel? 🤣 He's been here this whole motherfucking time. By the way is it irony ni kama lazma baba angekufa ndio Kalonzo ashine ama it was all well-orchestrated? Anyway. It's funny in Kenya ukiwa keen you can always tell nani atakua president. At first i thought they had settled on Matiangi but now the fart is farting in another direction it seems. Still think we are a democracy? That your vote will ever change anything. I can almost bet you the next president will be worse than Ruto and it's Kenyans who will vote him in. But perhaps after that we will finally learn our lesson amd vote wisely for once. Imagine that! But then again i'm bible freak and the bible does say this system can never work. And thats why it will be replaced by God's system. Isn't that what you ask Him to do when you say the Lord's prayer - May your Kingdom Come on Earth as it is in Heaven. When that will be who knows. But until then, you'll have to live with the bad governance. Ata Trump pia si mpoa ukilook closer. Its just that there they brand corruption with fancy jargon but ata uko leadership ni takataka na citizens suffer for it. They just dont suffer the same way as us.

Kalonzo is the 6th

ODM’s intellectual bloc shifting to Kalonzo mirrors what we saw pre-2013 when power brokers began testing new alliances in silence. Power never sleeps. It only reorganizes.

Moves are subtle, alliances shifting quietly as 2027 approaches fast.

Unfortunately no politician in United opposition can challenge President Ruto in 2027. Kalonzo is a Joker and Gachagua is an impeached tribalist, only matiang'i has a fare chance

You're reading too much. Luos love and respect Kalonzo so much. But they hate his new found friend, Gachagua. Our biggest prayer would be to have Kalonzo join broadbased.

KALONZO ONLY STANDS A CHANCE IF HE CUTS TIES WITH THE MOUNTAIN WATCHMAN WHO WON’T STOP DRUMMING POLITICS OF HATE AND DISUNITY! RIGHT NOW, THEY’RE JUST “INTERVIEWING” HIM WHILE THE REAL CANDIDATE IS ALREADY WRITTEN (MATIANG’I) SO FAR, ONLY RUTO AND UHURU HAVE THE KEYS TO NYANZA!
Replying to @georgediano
But Kalonzo was not the first person to visit Opoda farm and received by governor Orengo.Many reached there way before Kalonzo and they were received by the same governor.Why receiving Kalonzo becomes a subject or how is it unique?
Replying to @georgediano
Uhuru's influence is overestimated. Despite having the platform of the presidency to build a lasting legacy, he drunk and slept in class. His current efforts appear to be nothing more than a desperate and aimless campaign to counter Gachaguainfluence in Morima.
Replying to @georgediano
Orengo welcoming Kalonzo at Opoda Farm is not just tea and hugs. It’s a big sign that smart ODM guys are quietly restrastegizing Raila’s loyal friend for 2027. Uhuru is the real DJ behind the music, pushing his boys to team up with Kalonzo so they can block Ruto together.

A time has come when we must hand to Kalonzo the mantle He's the one who with the support of western, North Eastern, Coast, Nyanza and Central, would unseat the tyrant Githinjiii. A time comes when we all have to come and support him. Let Matiangi, Natembeya, Gachagua, ODM come!

It maybe that Raila Odinga didn't tell us who we should work with but at least he indicated to us who we should never work with. A group with Gachagua on the side is a poison to luos. Am very sorry to kalonzo coz he's a good man but we'll never support a side of Gachagua

You try to breath political nuance into a harmless social gesture and then drag in Uhuru's name to lend credence to your lopsided argument. I heard Uhuru is backing Matiang'i.

ORENGO has been receiving visitors at opoda farm since BABA RAILA ODINGAs burial According to what I know he's doing that in his capacity as the governor of siaya and a friend to BABA So receiving KALONZO is just receiving one of the visitors nothing special about it

This is far off the mark,Orengo was there in his personal capacity as Siaya Governor and a leader of Kalonzo Musyoka's ranking had to be received by a governor of the county.Anything else is just propaganda.

If there's a man that kept giving chances to Raila to shine is Kalonzo. KM is that unique politician that has the iota of being as unpolitical as Kibaki. Maybe it's his time. Also a change from the kikuyu-kalenjin duopoly and luo presence in the corridors of power

Kalonzo is a wise person. He sees from a far where food is served well. He'd rather eat in a half plateful of food for five years than eat on a full plate for a year and get abandoned.

Just tell us who would have welcomed Kalonzo if not Orengo since Oburu is busy building ODM? If the chairman or the party leader would have been here then your thinking would be right. But for now it's a mere welcome

You read too much , Kalonzo is very respected in Luo land that's all.

I dont think UK has a hand in it. He will jump into it last minute and claim credit. He silently hopes FM can be accepted by the mountain. The realisation that RG with his masses in Mt Kenyahas SKM as his preferred candidate gives the Tseikuru man lots of potential going forward.

Myopic if you ask me. Uhuru knows it is far easier to yank the presidency from Kalonzo than anyone else. Uhuru wants the presidency back on the mountain, and Kalonzo is an easier route to that.

I was at a garage with only luo mechs when Baba's loss in 22 was confirmed, they all commented that he's done and should endorse Kalonzo. Unfortunately he chose to sell out at the end.
Replying to @georgediano
That man behind Kalonzo who happens to be head of the budget committee has been placed by William Ruto to spy on any political developments. He is moving with them steadily.😂😂

It was just courtesy. After all, Bondo is in Siaya and Orengo is the Governor of Siaya. You read too much in mundane occurances.
