Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, a close ally of President William Ruto, has assured ODM secretary general Edwin Sifuna that his position within the party is secure despite concerns over his stance on the party's relationship with Ruto's government.

• Sifuna's changed approach to criticising Ruto and the broad-based government, along with his declaration that ODM will support Ruto until the 2027 General Election based on a 10-point agenda, appears to have garnered support for his continued leadership.
• The assurance comes amid internal party questions about Sifuna's loyalty following the recent demise of Raila Odinga, which sparked rumors of an ODM succession battle.
• Cherargei noted that Sifuna has been "forgiven" and his position secure, acknowledging Sifuna's pledge of loyalty to ODM and the government "in honor of Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga."
