Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, the National Chairperson of the ODM party, has urged Nyanza residents to reject leaders associated with the Linda Mwananchi faction. She claims this group, led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, and Siaya Governor James Orengo, intends to push the party back into opposition.

• Wanga, leading the Linda Ground faction with ODM leader Oburu Oginga, called on supporters to back President William Ruto's re-election for the party to be part of the next government.
• She criticized the united opposition for lacking a leader capable of winning the presidency.
• Wanga stated that Sifuna's removal from the party secretary general post was due to his public opposition to party positions, emphasizing the need for internal discipline and a united voice within ODM.
