Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has been removed as the Secretary-General of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) by its National Executive Council. This decision follows his escalating public defiance against the party leadership, mirroring the past situation of his predecessor, Ababu Namwamba.

• Catherine Omanyo, Busia Woman Representative, will serve as the acting Secretary-General.
• Sifuna's removal stems from accusations including indiscipline, dishonesty, and illegally usurping the party leader's powers.
• A decade ago, Sifuna himself staged a "coup" to take the SG position after Namwamba's fallout with ODM powerbrokers.
