Edwin Sifuna Cuts Short Speech As Police Evict Linda Mwananchi Attendees - March 2026

ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna's speech was abruptly cut short at a party meeting in Nairobi after police intervened to evict attendees identified as 'Linda Mwananchi'. Siaya Governor James Orengo led a group of youth into Ufungamano Grounds following a reported standoff, warning police that any assault on individuals will result in swift consequences. Separately, ODM Deputy Party Leader Geoffrey Osotsi accused authorities of deploying soldiers overnight to disrupt the party's activities. Governor Orengo issued a defiant statement declaring readiness to die for the country, while Sifuna stated the party cannot align with what he termed a 'killer government' due to fundamental differences in values. Police trucks were observed outside planned meeting venues as officers attempted to stop events.
