Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has defended fellow ODM legislators, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, regarding their often confrontational stance within the party and against the government. Odhiambo attributes their behavior to the "oppositionist" nature of Nairobi politics and the need to protect their constituents' interests.

• Millie Odhiambo stated that politics in Nairobi is inherently "oppositionist," influencing figures like Babu Owino and Edwin Sifuna.
• Babu Owino has openly challenged ODM leadership and criticized the Kenya Kwanza government despite an MoU.
• Edwin Sifuna, ODM Secretary General, has also refused to align with the government and cautioned against using the term "broad-based" for the party's relationship with it.
• Both Sifuna and Owino skipped a joint ODM and UDA parliamentary group meeting chaired by the President.
