A significant rift has emerged within Kenya's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, with a faction led by the party's Secretary General Edwin Sifuna announcing plans for a parallel National Delegate Convention (NDC) tentatively scheduled for March 27, 2026. This development signals a potential split in the party's leadership gatherings, as a faction supporting Sifuna plans to host the parallel event. Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna is currently facing political uncertainty following an apparent attempt by the ODM party to remove him from his position as Secretary General. His recent prominence has sparked discussions about his potential political future, including the possibility of creating an alliance with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Separately, this situation reflects the recurring issue of political parties in Kenya facing succession crises when their founders depart.
