The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) has granted a temporary reprieve to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, halting the Orange Democratic Movement's (ODM) plan to remove him as secretary-general. The tribunal suspended a resolution passed by ODM's National Executive Committee on February 11, 2026, which aimed to oust him. That resolution intended to appoint Busia Woman Representative Catherine Omanyo as acting secretary-general. Despite the party's actions, Sifuna insists he remains the legitimate Secretary General of the ODM party. He has described the NEC decision to remove him as illegal and unprocedural.
