The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has refuted claims that President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) influenced the ousting of its former Secretary General, Edwin Sifuna. ODM Deputy Party Leader Abduswamad Nassir stated that the decision was solely made by the party's National Executive Committee (NEC) due to Sifuna's differing stance on party policies, though he remains an ODM member.

• Sifuna is expected to announce his next political move, with a press statement planned for Thursday morning following his removal by the NEC.
• Mombasa Governor Abduswamad Nassir confirmed the decision was a majority vote by the NEC.
• Catherine Omayo, former Deputy Secretary General, has been promoted to the position of Secretary General and will oversee the Secretariat until the National Delegates Convention (NDC) on March 27, 2026.
• Lang’ata MP Phelix Odiwuor, known as Jalang’o, announced his intention to challenge Sifuna for the Nairobi Senate seat in the 2027 General Election.
