A significant rift has emerged within Kenya's ODM party as former national chairperson John Mbadi publicly called for the expulsion of Secretary General Edwin Sifuna. Mbadi accused Sifuna of defying party leader Oburu Oginga and advancing external agendas, asserting his departure would not negatively impact the party.

• John Mbadi, Treasury Cabinet Secretary, urged the expulsion of Secretary General Edwin Sifuna from the ODM party.
• Mbadi claims Sifuna's actions are at odds with party leader Oburu Oginga and that Sifuna is "selling someone else’s agenda."
• Sifuna recently led the Linda Wananchi faction, which appears to rival the Linda Ground initiative supported by other ODM leaders.
• Mbadi was endorsed for the 2032 presidential race, with discussions for Uasin Gishu Senator Jackson Mandago as his running mate.
