Political Parties Tribunal Halts Edwin Sifuna's Removal as ODM Secretary General - February 2026
The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) has granted a temporary reprieve to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, halting the Orange Democratic Movement's (ODM) plan to remove him as secretary-general. The tribunal suspended a resolution passed by ODM's National Executive Committee on February 11, 2026, which aimed to oust him.
