Police Disperse Edwin Sifuna-led ODM Rally in Kitengela with Teargas - February 2026

A faction of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, led by embattled Secretary General Edwin Sifuna, was scheduled to hold a rally in Kitengela. On Sunday, February 15, 2026, anti-riot police used teargas to disperse this political rally in Kitengela, Kajiado County. The event descended into chaos, leading to panic and disruption along the Nairobi-Namanga Road. The rally occurred amid internal party strife, with ODM party leader Oburu Oginga stating that Sifuna had been relieved of his duties. Oburu affirmed that Busia Woman Representative Catherine Omanyo is the party's chosen Secretary General. This move was made despite the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) issuing an order blocking Sifuna's removal.
