Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has filed a complaint with the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties, challenging his removal from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) National Executive Committee (NEC). This move comes as ODM also ousted Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, citing indiscipline amidst internal party realignments.

• Amisi received a letter on February 6 stating his position as Deputy National Organising Secretary "ipso facto lapsed" after his re-election as ODM Chairperson for Trans Nzoia County.
• He accuses ODM leadership of targeting critics, asserting he previously held both positions without issue since September 8, 2023.
• On Wednesday, Caleb Amisi, Kipkorir Menjo, and Taita Taveta Senator Johnes Mwaruma were removed from the ODM NEC.
• The dispute arises amid tensions over a proposed coalition between ODM and President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party for the 2027 General Election.
• Amisi is seeking regulatory intervention from the Registrar to halt the NEC's decision and has requested official party documentation, including the latest Party Constitution and list of NEC Members as of February 6, 2026.

The United Opposition in Kenya is poised to abandon Azimio as its political vehicle for the 2027 elections, opting instead for a new coalition framework. This decision contradicts actions by executive chairman Uhuru Kenyatta, who recently installed Kalonzo Musyoka as Azimio leader.

• United Opposition spokesperson Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi stated that Azimio will not be resuscitated in its current form.
• The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), led by Dr. Oburu Oginga, declared Azimio "died when ODM left it" and plans to formally exit the coalition.
• A two-day retreat in Naivasha will address the coalition's structure, leadership, strategy, and the 2027 presidential ticket.
• Potential presidential scenarios include Mr. Musyoka, Dr. Fred Matiang’i, or Mr. Gachagua as flag bearers, with various power-sharing arrangements for Deputy President and Prime Minister.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has fired its Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna after intense factional disputes, while also announcing plans to exit the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition.

• Ms. Catherine Omanyo has been appointed as the acting Secretary-General.
• The decision to remove Sifuna was met with opposition from minority members of the National Executive Council (NEC), citing constitutional violations.
• The ODM NEC, presided over by party leader Oburu Oginga, rejected Uhuru Kenyatta's move to install Kalonzo Musyoka as the new Azimio leader.
• This move threatens to purge Kalonzo and Uhuru allies from parliamentary leadership roles.
• The party plans to formally ratify its exit from Azimio during its National Delegates Convention (NDC) on March 26, 2026.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has removed Edwin Sifuna from his position as Secretary-General amidst internal factional disputes and announced its formal exit from the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition. This move triggers a significant purge targeting allies of former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka within both the National Assembly and the Senate.

• Edwin Sifuna was replaced by Ms. Catherine Omanyo, who will serve in an acting capacity.
• The ODM NEC meeting was presided over by party leader Oburu Oginga, who rejected Uhuru Kenyatta's move to install Kalonzo Musyoka as Azimio leader.
• Potential casualties of the parliamentary purge include Senate Deputy Minority Leader Enoch Wambua (Wiper) and Deputy Minority Leader in the National Assembly Robert Mbui (Wiper).
