Amid escalating tensions within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi has proposed Nyando MP Jared Okello as a potential replacement for Secretary General Edwin Sifuna. This suggestion arose after Sifuna publicly criticized ODM's agreement with the Kenya Kwanza government, sparking a heated internal debate.

• MP Atandi strongly criticized Sifuna's comments regarding the ODM-Kenya Kwanza pact, stating that Okello has "better English" and schooling from England, making him more suitable for the SG role.
• The controversy stems from Sifuna's interview on Citizen TV, where he admitted confusion within the party regarding its alliance with President William Ruto's government.
• Jared Okello, an ODM MP since 2017, is known for consistently aligning with party leadership and supporting ODM's participation in the Kenya Kwanza government, even pledging to back all government-sponsored bills.
