Senator Edwin Sifuna has fired back at governors who allegedly tried to tarnish his name, insisting he remains the Secretary General of ODM and fully committed to the party. The political tension unfolded amid allegations that Sifuna was involved in schemes undermining the party’s integrity, claims he strongly denied during recent public engagements.
Sifuna addressed the controversy in a bold statement, saying that the Kenyan public knows him and that any disputes with governors would be settled in court https://www.facebook.com/reel/1236325581224725/. He reaffirmed his position as ODM’s SG, vowing that the party’s upcoming National Delegates Conference (NDC) will proceed with full participation from loyal members.
The statement comes at a time when ODM appears increasingly divided, with some party governors accused of attempting to assert influence over leadership decisions. Analysts note that Sifuna’s firm response signals a refusal to be sidelined, positioning him as a central figure in maintaining party unity ahead of critical political events.
Inside party circles, there are reports that certain governors had hoped to leverage allegations to sway key decisions during the NDC. Sifuna’s insistence on court action and adherence to party structures, however, demonstrates his confidence and legal preparedness. Observers suggest this may redefine power dynamics within ODM, particularly between the central leadership and regional office holders.
The former SG’s commitment to the NDC is also seen as a move to reassure the party’s grassroots supporters, many of whom have voiced concerns over perceived internal conflicts. His stand emphasizes that ODM’s future will be determined through formal channels rather than through public accusations or behind-the-scenes maneuvering.
As the political drama unfolds, attention is shifting to how governors linked to the allegations will respond, and whether Sifuna’s legal approach will set a precedent for handling internal disputes. The coming weeks are expected to be decisive for ODM’s internal cohesion and leadership credibility, with Sifuna’s actions closely watched by both party faithful and rival political camps.
