Oburu Odinga, a leader within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, met with embattled Secretary General Edwin Sifuna to reinforce unity amid internal party wrangles. This meeting followed an attempt by Migori Senator Eddy Oketch to remove Sifuna, a petition that was later withdrawn.

• Oburu Odinga described Senator Edwin Sifuna as a "sober and principled voice" committed to democratic ideals.
• The meeting took place on Wednesday in Nairobi, with Oburu emphasizing free expression and open debate within the ODM Party.
• Migori Senator Eddy Oketch had filed a petition to remove Sifuna, citing gross misconduct and alleged sabotage for his strong stance against the broad-based government, but later withdrew it on Tuesday, January 6.
• The withdrawal of the petition followed consultations with ODM leadership and respect for the legacy of the late Raila Odinga, who favored dialogue for dispute resolution.
