ODM Removes Secretary General Edwin Sifuna Amid Internal Turmoil and Accusations Against President Ruto - February 2026
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party is facing a severe internal power struggle following the ouster of Secretary General Edwin Sifuna by the National Executive Council (NEC). Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga defended the removal, asserting that due procedure was followed. However, the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) temporarily overturned the dismissal. The decision has caused chaos and finger-pointing within the party, with protests erupting in Mombasa and the potential for a mass exodus of members. ODM leaders held a press conference in Nairobi accusing President William Ruto of attempting to destabilize the party and orchestrate Sifuna's ouster. Amid the turmoil, party leader Oburu Oginga was notably absent from crucial rallies in Lamu and Tana River. Other ODM leaders, including Junet Mohamed and Abdulswamad Nassir, have criticized external interference.
