Uncertainty over the future of ODM came about shortly after Odinga held talks with Kenyatta on March 9, at Harambee House. 

The two political rivals later told Kenyans in a press briefing that they had agreed to work together for the country's unity.

However, this did not go well with Odinga's colleagues in the NASA coalition, which ODM is an affiliate party.

Mudavadi Musalia, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula, the three of the four principals, demanded to know why Odinga did not engage them in the meeting.

Later on, uncertainty erupted after ODM members including the 2nd Deputy Party Leader, Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho, defended their party leader and their partnership with Jubilee, who they have been widely opposing.

According to Oparanya, the partnership is not political but seeks to unite the country.

Addressing the press in Kakamega flanked by a section of Jubilee Party leaders in the region, including Ben Washiali of Mumias East, the Kakamega County Governor said ODM was still in NASA.

He asked the three NASA principals not to worry about Raila-Uhuru meeting since everything would be alright.

His sentiments came few days after Joho told the three principals that they should support Odinga for the country's healing after bumpy political season.
