Tribunal Sets Date for Ruling on Sifuna's ODM Ouster

The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal has set a date to rule on Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's petition challenging his removal as ODM Secretary-General, which he alleges violated the party's constitution. The Orange Democratic Movement has defended its decision to remove Sifuna before the tribunal, citing "indiscipline" and a pattern inimical to party cohesion. Meanwhile, a faction of ODM leaders including Sifuna and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has denounced the newly released ten-point agenda report, labeling it a "fraud" and a "public relations exercise."
