ODM National Executive Committee Removes Edwin Sifuna as Secretary-General

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) has removed Edwin Sifuna from his position as Secretary-General during a heated meeting in Mombasa. Sifuna insists he remains the legitimate Secretary General, stating the decision was illegal and unprocedural. His removal follows his public opposition to the party's talks with President William Ruto, with both Sifuna and Senator Godfrey Osotsi accusing the President of orchestrating the ouster. In his place, Catherine Omanyo, the Busia Woman Representative, has been appointed as the acting secretary-general. Alongside this change, ODM also announced its formal exit from the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition. The party is also planning a purge targeting allies of former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka. As part of the shake-up, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi has also filed a complaint challenging his own removal from the ODM National Executive Committee.
