A faction of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders, known as the Linda Mwananchi movement, has conceded defeat in their bid to reclaim the party, citing its alignment with the Kenya Kwanza administration.

• The movement, led by Siaya Governor James Orengo, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, and Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka, believes the party has strayed from the ideals of its late leader Raila Odinga.
• Despite their internal resistance, the leaders announced plans to strengthen the Linda Mwananchi movement independently.
• Senator Edwin Sifuna, recently removed from his position as Senate Deputy Minority Whip, was declared a potential "future national leader" by Governor Orengo.
